I've never thought it was rigged until now I've played live for a few years and seen some crazy run outs but lately I've joined a new poker site and I'm playing the hand perfectly and then the most crazy run outs of all is happening and it keeps happening not just once or twice but very regular it seems to stupid sometimes. How do professional players like Fedor holtz win millions? Do they never get crazy run outs where they lose hundreds if not thousands like me
Hi totally get that and I do all of the above but lately since joining a new online site everything I try is losing don't know if I should try another site or give up throwing my money away

They minimize the pot until the river or bet people out before it goes that far.

Not sure if any or all are rigged but if there are no monitoring of the software it is very easy to profile and rig the games
One more thing on this subject. If you think about it you get cards from the dealer (pgm selects) you then bet on your cards again program knows your cars and can log your history. Win or loose the program logs your results then does statistical analysis on your playing history to project your next move. this is done in real time with a multi processor multi gig memory computer. Seems the odds are against us

Some of the previous speakers mentioned licensed casinos as safe and prudent option, but it`s not true at all. In addition to points voiced doubts about regulated casinos` safety I want to add that intesity of regulation is different from platform to platform. This guy tells something about that
, of course, often it`s unclear in which way the casino is programmed and what technologies it uses.

Online poker is not rigged,why computer gave your oponent cards to beat you but dont give you to beat him,all players is same for online poker rooms,i am in bad beats right now for 3 months but i know thats happening,in live poker i have bad beats like in online poker so for sure online poker isnt rigged,all players must play a lot of games and play on variance.....

Not rigged. As others have said you are seeing way more hands than you ever would playing live. I will add one more thing...As I continue to learn there are times and spots where you can and need to lay down premium hands. If you are constantly losing consider working on your game instead of saying that the game is rigged.

Country based / rigged?
Its been more than 10 years now that I have played online poker, mainly tournaments - absolutely got tired of it, and now mainly playing live, BUT, it really feels like owners of PS for one or another reason do have country based policy (or how may I say) configuration - it is so hard to explain, but I am sure most people would understand. It really looks like, they are calculating proficit based on country, and sort of making it "soft" to countries which have most users, and most cash inflow.. sounds cosmic - but really feels so.

I think that the game favors some players and that it takes into account their way of playing.
For example if during a game we do not protect his hand the game will not hesitate to make you regret it.Or if we still attack a player in full rush you have little chance to win even with a good hand.
I also noticed that when you get to bluff with junk hands the game is more likely to give you better cards in subsequent rounds.
I know this seems a bit far-fetched but that remains my opinion on this subject.

Well sometimes you feel like it's rigged but it's probably just weird randomness. Sometime it's more like the whole universe is against you (which is very probable). And you end up wondering : what wrong have I done to deserve this ?! You know when you have that ace flush and end up losing against the straight flush. It just happens. Not every AA is victorious. And sometimes it just feel stupid when you have KK against KK and still lose because your opponent end up with the flush. I've made bad decision with win, good decision with lost. You know it's just poker. I mean I am playing freeroll only I am a very bad costumer for them playing for fun and I've never put money into my account but I still finish first sometime often on the last table, you would imagine they wouln't let me finish 1st if I have never contributed to the house. But it happenned, so it's not rigged, it's just randomly random.

I love the Rigger threads!! 
My opinion on this is,,,do you notice a tournament of over 10 000 players only takes a few hours to get down to a couple thousand? Rigged for action my friends!! Nobody can dispute that!! :deal: It has to be that way or the tourneys would last forever.The sites make more money by kicking players out and them rebuying,or buying into another game. Sooooo,,they are not Rigged against you,they just want everybody out!

its not rigged
why its not rigged? simple too much money can be made to risk your reputation. if a site was rigged it would quickly go out of business. You have to be an idiot to lose money running a casino or poker room.

well, how I see this, no one made you play, and no one is forcing you to play online.
We all, play because we want to.
If you think it's rigged, then quit playing, and use your time wisely somewhere else, where you're going to enjoy more and quit bitching about some rigged games and poker sites.
If I think that someone is trying to get my hard earned money, then I would not go there, and will avoid that place at all cost.
But, that's just me.
Just my $.02 on this matter.

id love to have the same kind of info that certain skins (cough cough poker kings) players have. Not sure what you mean rigged but if you mean certain players have a lot more info then others when they shouldnt then call it what you want. Also, just keep in mind if they can tune an rng for action then they can tune it anyway they want so if you believe they set it for action then there is no way you cant believe its legit, cant have it both ways, its either 100% clean or 100% programmable, and if you believe they can program it for action to speed up mtts or whatever then its 100% or nothing
theres just too much stupid stuff in these debates , no its not rigged but I belive they set it for action hands. WTF IT CANT BE 1/2 and 1/2 - if you beleive even 5% of the 2nd half then you believe its rigged so chose your side dont chose the middle
