Your scenarios you presented are applicable to live poker aswell. 32 is not a great hand and should only be played under cetain circumstances.
Aces can also be cracked by two pair in live poker if you did not already know this :top:
Anyways, I trust that poker rooms use random algorithms to shuffle the cards, they have no reason to rig the game as it would surely tarnish the reputation of the room, which reputation and player base are the two most important metrics for a poker room.
With all the tracking and database programs now it is easy to track how lucky/unlucky you have been. Most people that claim internet poker is rigged are people who are losing becaue they use a poor strategy, and instead of improving they blame it on the software.
In fact, a very large percentage of online poker plays and good luck. Many complain about the reins of a pair of aces with small cards of the opponent, just in this hand he was lucky more than You and it will occur quite often in online poker.

Irony?
Well, AA does not give You a guarantee to win a hand.
AA against 2 3 off gives You only 87% chance to win. It means, more or less, 9 of 10 hands.
It can happen to anyone to be unlucky and hit the one losing hand lol.
It is frustrating but it happens!
It’s called selective memory. You remember only unusual things. The one called ‘normal’ fly away from Your mind.
Online poker is strange. It gives a lot of fun if You can accept the fact that You are losing more often than win.
The challenge is to keep your payouts bigger than buyins. And to do it, You need to achieve money zone 20% of games You are playing.
In my opinion the question is wrong. ‘Trust’ is reserved to people rather than artificial things.
The real question is if online poker is rigged or not. The answer here depends a lot on poker room. I play Pokerstars and do not think it is rigged.
Trust Only Your Self!!! You Will Be The only one who will ever let you down...
Online Gaming Is Worth Billions...
Little tweaks Here and Procedure Changes there can make differences of hundreds of millions in profit...
The People steering the Ship, I wonder just how far they can be trusted? They Can be trusted to do what ever they can to increase profits.
We can trust that we live in a world where law's can be brought for a price by any Corporate Group Giving donations and Buying Politicians...
Issues can be hidden behind confidentiality agreements and transparency in RNG coding leaves alot to be desired when there are no Law's Governing Either the Transparency or How RNG Prizes are distributed...
Trust? or Confidence?
Do You Feel Confident that the Money You Spend On your Favorite Platform will Get you the Value for Money you desire?
I'm Confident that I Trade in my lack of trust and even leave it at the door when I've been paid off with a good Bonus/Rewards Scheme lol
Yes My Price Is Low but Don't we all feel a little better about losing when it feels like we've gotten something back, like in the form of a bonus kick back, just a shame each kick back is designed to drag you back to the tables and to deposit more money...
So Trust is relative, Yes I trust that Online Poker will Always earn more money for the platform than can be made by any individual playing that platform lol

I did, but somethings on "unnamed sites" are mighty suspicious, I genuinely believe their greed has got the better of them and not all players are real........ one site in particular

Bad beats are just a part of poker. It's what makes the money go round. Although with some of the hands I've seen it makes you wonder if some of these people have software that teels them the outcome of the hand. I keep saying to myself "I can't believe you played that hand and beat me with it."
Do I trust online poker? Not enough to put money into it but I sure will take advantage of the freerolls.

I like prefer playing at live tables but most times I can only play online. Granted that the same turn of the cards can happen online that happens on a real table but it seems that online the seemingly improbable happens more regularly so to answer your question sometimes online poker seems a little suspect.
I Don't Trust It
Here are a number of bad beats I have experienced in the recent past and I don't play that often. Seems I get beat many times by 2 outers.
