Online poker is rigged

[KyleJRM]

you have 999JJ & lose to JJJ99 (3 times the other night I had a full house, only to lose to a larger full house)

Board reading is fundamental. It doesn't matter how big your hand is in the hierarchy of poker hands, it matters how big it is relative to the board.

How can people know if something is rigged if it is a gamble/random game. Luck is random. People only remember the bad beats in their games in the past... Maybe thats why people think they are luck-cursed or pokerroom-rigged. Pokerstars, fulltilt make tons of money already why would they scam us

That's close, but I think people only remember the bad beats because when they win with good cards, it's their God given right to win that hand.

Winning is expected, losing is a bad beat.

Another home game bad beat

Once again... Home game on Saturday... was getting short stacked...

Blinds were 10k/20k... Woke up with AA and pushed in all my chips with 150K... was called with QJ suited. Q came on the turn AND the river.

When these bad beats happen you have to take into consideration "where did I get all my money in"?? If I get my money in with the best hand and lose, I dont get upset. Its poker. It happens. (my home game wasnt rigged)

Even if I considered playing with a marked deck, it still wouldnt have increased my odds.

Rick,
Very astute observation. This further helps to prove our point that online poker IS NOT rigged. Congrats on the cash. You kicked and scratched and out lasted 650 players. Hold your head high.
That's .38 you didn't have at the beginning of the day.

If online poker is rigged, it is rigged to make me a steady profit month after month, so I'm all for it!! Rig away!!!!!

 

[ph_il]

I like to agree with them and say things like

"OMG! Yes! I hate PokerStar's river! It always gets me!"

And then if I'm lucky, I'll get beat on the river and I'll say "See! OMG! EVERYTIME!"

I like to tell them that to turn off the rigging, they can press ALT+F4 and they should be OK.

 

[Goodwooter]

i ask them if they think it is rigged then why are they playing?

I have been playing online poker for many years now and I can honestly say me and other players have noticed a big change in how the cards are falling. I cant tell you how many times I have lost to quads with trip aces or other high trip hands. Hell in one game I seen quads 4 times, now does anyone here think that is realistic?? I have went from 8hr days of playing online poker to playing all live for the most part because of what I have been seeing recently. I play online for fun now only mainly freerolls. The last heads up game was what really did it for me when I was playing a 20 dollar heads up against aggressive player who raised and called my every bet. Finally I get the bullets I waste no time and push all in. He instacalls with pkt 2s. Flop comes 22k 4th is Ace 5th is a rag card. Common sense says you dont risk your whole stack when we are even in chips with pkt 2s. Call it poor play call it lucky call it what you will, that is a flat out stupid. To many bingo players online it seems these days, I will keep my real money flowing on live games. Best of luck all who play online as I have made good money over the years. My run was good for sometime online and I wish everyone else the same. Best of luck on the felts!!!

I was playing live 2-4 limit holdem and in one 8 hour session there were 8 quads that night. How realistic is that? Well it happened and so it is no surprise that you only had 4 quads when live is less hands. Ok that beat is no where near as bad as mine. And mine happened live. 1-2 no limit I have pocket aces raise 30 dollars preflop get a caller. Flop comes Kc Qs 7h I push all for $90 and the guy thinks and finally calls with Ad 2d and the turn is a 2 and the river is a 2. That was my worst beat ever. Nothing online has topped that one yet. Their bad play live translates into bad play online. So the beats online don't even stun me. Mainly cause the play I see live is 100 times worst.

They say its rigged cauz its there only argument. They cant say live poker is rigged, cause well, its random cards. With computers well they can say its rigged but everyone will get somw downhills moments in a poker career, its normal. Just make the right play and be happy.

 

[tertip]

sometimes i have that felling too but after a while when you play you see that is not only lucky or unluck.
you have to play your style when u are a good player you will win more then you lose

People say is rigged so they don't have to take responsibility for their mistakes. "It's not my fault I lost... the game is rigged", whatever........ you lost because you made a mistake face up to it.
