I guess the very first one is "online poker is rigged", and the arguments goes like: "they do everything to force more action which increases the pot sizes and thus the rake", "variance and confirmation bias are just things they invented to cover up the obvious rigging.
Though sometimes they could collusion, and win over the bot.
If You think the game is rigged just fold Your hand and don't play over there anymore.

Yeah, I hear that a lot too. People love to say you should play super aggressive all the time, but that’s not really how good poker works. Aggression is important, of course — but it has to be smart and based on the situation, not just used blindly every hand.
Playing controlled, well-timed aggression is way more profitable than just blasting chips nonstop.

Totally agree with you on that. Intuition can help sometimes, but without real knowledge and solid fundamentals, it doesn’t take you very far. A few lucky guesses can make someone feel confident, but in the long run the players who study and understand the game always come out ahead. Intuition without structure is basically just taking shots in the dark.

Yeah, that’s definitely one of the most common myths. A lot of players blame “rigged poker” every time they run bad, but it’s usually just variance combined with confirmation bias. poker sites have no reason to risk their entire business just to influence a few pots.
Collusion or bots can happen on some platforms, but that’s a completely different issue — and it still doesn’t mean the RNG is rigged. If someone truly believes the site is fixed, the best thing they can do is exactly what you said: just stop playing there. There are plenty of safe, reputable rooms to choose from

I think the LAG style works very well, but it's a difficult strategy to use, you definitively need skills to do it.
If the player doesn't know exactly what he's doing, they'll certainly lose money quickly.
The difference between a good LAG player and a maniac is in the details, but it's much bigger than it seems, actually.
