Do I trust online poker

Do I trust online poker. Of course I dont. The way people play online they would be broke live if you play that way. Online poker sucks now.

I want to trust. And even I always try to trust them. And even when it looks rigged, I try to think it's just my fault. Having said that, actually I experienced many case that is highly suspected. The weird odds? not to mention it. Save the odds, one time it was a really good situation to me, but I was suddenly disconnected from the client. So I lost my chance and chips also. But I still try to think it's just my suspicion. Because online system environment can't be perfect. Maybe I was just in bad luck. Anyway the biggest problem these days I think is AI. You know like in online chess if you use AI you are invincible. Fortunately, online poker sites insist that they can find out cheating players who use AI. So anyway I just hope no cheating in this poker world.

I definitely dont trust putting funds on to any poker site anymore... i deposited $25 cash onto juicy stakes When I went to cash out there was a statement made on the sites webpage was $160 minimum withdrawal I had $250 I contacvted support after I was unable to proceed with withdrawal and they told me minimum cashout was $280 So that was my last straw I play freerolls for fun and the competitiomn but never again will I deposit

How 2pac said: 'Trust Nobody' - even the online poker is not anybody, but there are humanoids behind it....

Trust its more faster than playing in Real with Friends. But more Bad Beats as tonight 910 clubs in cash game won on cardschat tourney saturday finished second on ACR raise reraise flop 2 clubs 10 diamond go all in against QQ nothing on turn and River pocket QQ won the shot.
As i Said thats why i play for free or with money won on tourneys freerolls cardschat i wont feel the pressure of loosing my money for these reasons.
I like playing poker its a passion but i cant make a living i will going in hospital.
By the way i will continue to sell my products in my normal life. Pleasure :icon_sant

Yes if its the right site..no if its a iffy one. The sites dont cheat,they could easily do it but bad for business(more players$$) and they strive to stop it. I think its players cheating together on cash tables ect. is were majority of risk is. Good luck.

If I trust at least the room that I play, what is pokerstars? If I don't trust, I won't waste my time playing online

I think it would be a little bit naive to trust all online poker sites. There are always going to be some shady players and operators when there is money on the line.

Just look at the stock market or politics or anything that involves money or power.

But do I think there is any widespread "conspiracy" to rig the deck against us at most online poker rooms? No.

One of the biggest reasons why is because they already make hundreds of millions of dollars every year in rake. Why on earth would they want to risk that by doing anything shady?

Also, while there are plenty of "claims" of rigging out there, usually by disgruntled players who want to blame their losses on something, there has been no statistically significant evidence presented to prove this.

Until actual evidence is presented that involves sample sizes in the millions of hands showing widespread statistical anomalies, it will just remain speculation on the internet.

FWIW, as somebody who has actually played 10+ million hands of poker online, I have run the data myself in PokerTracker and I have not found any reason to conclude that there are any large irregularities in the RNG at any of the major online poker rooms.

Anyways, I discussed all this more in a recent YouTube video, why people think it is rigged and so on.

I trust online poker about as much as I trust the US Congress, which is not much.

Betonline

Ive been playing on Betonline about a week and its been interesting to say the least. Someone called my three bet when i had pocket kk with j 4 and floped two pair. Another guy called a huge bet pre flop with pocket 22 flopped trips on my pocket AA. I river two pair with AK and the guy has pocket AA. And the next game I go all in pre flop with pocket 10 guy calls me with A4 rivers an ace. And just now some guy flopped trip 7 on my pocket AA. Play at your own risk.

Trust nothing! With that being said, add to your training how to avoid being beat by the bots, and cheats. Sometimes you just know somethings not right, and its best to just fold, no matter how juicy the pot is.

I was also interested in this question, but it really happens when a bad card plays when you fold it, sometimes one player opens cards in a row and he wins the hand in a row, but what can we do even if these are bots? I still play, I hope these are not bots)

Oddly enough also deposited about a week back and have also been surprised at the RNG - big stack always finding his outs on the river. Very early days - around 7 MTTs

I used to trust them!!

I played online since the first online room opened up, and that was the last room that I could say was not suspicious, as time went on through the years more and more suspicious things were happening, then I was part of the absolute poker scandal I did get a refund though. Stopped playing online for awhile then last 4 years came back and play on ACR, this site is a complete fraud you can look at my hand history and some replays and you can only say after seeing it that the site is completely rigged, saying that all the other rooms are pretty much the same now but ACR is pretty open about stealing from their players that's the only difference. Online is dead it will never be what it used to be!!!
