Cash games on line are rigged. A friend of mine is a programmer and built an on line poker site so that we could play our normal house game on line during the COVID-19 crisis. The frequency of outrageous bad beats is so much less than with regular on line poker. My friend's little site (just one cash table) actually feels like a live game.

Cash poker on line has too many bots raking in profits for the poker companies. Some poker companies boast that all players are anonymous and this is supposed to protect you against sharks. All it does is provide cover for the poker company bot players. One site even boasts you can change your username 3 times a day! Total cover for their own bot players.


Tournaments on line might be rigged to a small degree but I'd say they're largely honest.

Biggest problem is on double or nothing tourneys or cash play is cloaked Bots that are undetected by the poker sites. You've got some players playing 100 low stakes double or nothing tournaments a day, day in and day out, 365 days a year, 10 tables at a time, for about 10 cents per tourney profit. Thousands of hours a year for 1/9th minimum wage per hour. Those sorts of numbers are only possible or feasible with bots. Go to Sharkscope, look up "emperor" and "Hyper1on" to name but 2 of these bot users.

First of all, show us screenshots of your friend's 'little site'

How is something 'rigged to a small degree'? It's either rigged.. or it's not.

fwiw, someone playing 10-tables for 8hrs. is pretty normal for those who are regulars.

I don’t believe it is. The only one I play on is PokerStars and I really trust it even though I have had too many bad beats but when that happens I just tell to myself that’s poker!

 

[manzanillo53]

I was a true believer that the system is rigged, but as I improve my game, because of CC, I now concur, the Bad Beats are bad luck or just plain bad playing on my part.
So I take back any negative thoughts I had and will move on with my CC education.

Oh man, sometimes when I'm running bad I can't help but think that online poker is rigged. I have to keep reminding myself that this is poker and find my patience again.
Ps. If you think online poker is rigged, don't play online.

I've only played on one rigged site that I knew was 100 percent rigged. Simply for the fact that he had 6 cards in his hand to my 2 .

Sort of stakes most of us play at here there simply would be zero point riggin the
Tables. people also forget when they receive the bad beats that they lost to a bad player and you wouldn't see a good player in a live game first-hand chuck all in with q6,.

They like me also only remember the bad beats AGAINST them and not the ones they give others ..

I often thought so, but today I don't think so. But there are many flaws that should be corrected.

You see "Truly random numbers make such reverse engineering impossible". However, still "The results might still be slightly biased towards higher numbers or even numbers, but they're not generated by a deterministic algorithm". Anyway, we have to deal with it.

Bovada rigged

Bovada is not only rigged, they dont even try to hide it. Just enter "cheating at bovada" into google search and read the posts. I can attest to the fact that they are rigged. The most common post is something like this, "After I made a withdrawal I could not win to save my life." It's true. Ive played poker for 20+ years and have an M.S. Mathematics. Im consistently succesfull playing live. After I won 1 torneyment at Bovada and made a withdrawal they punished me with their bots. Couldnt win anything for 2 years. Everytime Im in the top 10 un a big tourneyment with about 20% of the field remaining, I get AA or KK and get raised all in by rags... lose everytime. Most recently I had 350,000 chips and pocket kings. Bet 30k. Was raised all in by bot with 465k chips and 4, 5 offsuit. 5 on the flop, 5 on the river. Do you really believe a real player makes that move? Not a chance, not in a million years. It wasnt a one off... happens every time. Ill never give them another penny.

I believe that online poker is not fake. This is just software. This is a specially designed program. Therefore, repetitions of some hands may occur. A weak hand can win a strong hand. It's poker

what to say about big tournaments it happens everywhere, they give you a little play, then they beat you with all kinds of garbage

and you will go to allin with 3 and 8 of different suit? flop ace 10 2. I have A2 and they beat me. And this happens very often. What is it a deception or so many morons

 

[gena31]

I play for pleasure, the deposit from me no longer wait

Yes, I agree this happens often. I think there are many morons like donkey(fish) or they are new players. I usually don't play with A2 exactly all in. Only call. If A2 the same suits

 

[Danximo]

Believe me, too, sometimes it feels like everything is rigged. But I don’t think that it really is, it’s just our imagination plays wicked jokes with us, when you would have put together a powerful combination and you are being moved, you immediately start to think that everything is fine-tuned .. emotions play with us. this is the essence. Just remember the poker face. Keep yourself in control!!!

 

[nativehero2015]

no, but you never know, peace

 

[Lina1020]

I don't think it's cheating, there are sometimes bad beats but so do my part, and as I play better and better, I have no problem saying that.

 

[Dmitrij32]

You can't call it a fake because any outcome has its own probability, and if you lose with two aces, don't be sad because this is not the last tournament in your life)))

 

[PackinPat]

From the sounds of all these posts it seems they do have control and do choose to use it sometimes.

 

[mimietmour]

It is funny that the day you deposit money you winnnnnnnnn and the next day you loooooooooooose. No?

[valts102]
