Do you trust online poker?

[eagleaces]

haha of course

I'm thinking about online poker, I'm not going in a round where I'm 2/3 in hand, here comes the card and it appears 3-3-2 and you wonder why I did not play this part? enters for you AA, you bet and think that you will win, your opponent goes with 7/8 and fafaz 2 pairs and wins from you. and so, should I rely on poke online.

I struggled with this and at times even in live games, if you play like i do, you will take bad beats 20 percent of the time. so out of 5 hands you get all in good you will lose on average 1 out of them. PPl think poker is so easy just play good hands and youll win. Sorry but you have a lot to learn if things like paranoia is getting the best of you. You should be asking yourself what could you have done different or how could i have won that hand with out getting it in. Ask yourself the question of why you lose? how you play determines how often you win or lose and how you win or lose them hands. If your losing with aces all in pre then try not getting it in pre. learn how to play postflop and remember if you think your a good player and your losing most likely your not a good player.

I had my doubts but I believe it to be ok.

Nowadays I don’t trust anyone or anything. And that’s all I gotta say about that.

If you are playing on sites you don't trust, you are already tilted.

Previously, the level of the game was more serious than it is now. In recent years, there has been a very strong increase in new players who play on any map. But experienced players only get better from this, you can make money on them. The main thing is not to pay attention to bad beats and stick to your reasonable game.

Hard to trust.. Cause some absolutely unreal stuff have been happening when I've played. Know everything is possible but.. Yeah.. I dont trust.

Variance

ON Line Poker Conspiracy theory

1. They Know who you are! not matter what site, or username
2. They use your IP address, computer ID.
3. I believe one engine" program " exists for all on line games" different skins
4. If they dont like you, or like someone else better... too bad..
5. Its a business to make money, Your money
6. Rake and fees are the game plan.
7. Bots and cheat rooms do exist ( 3 or 4 players in one room ) same table

YES it is Rigged.... . They are all the same ....Just different skins and parameters..​

I trust online poker as much as I trust Rosie O'Donnell will be named the most sexy woman in the universe.

ACR is a complete SCAM

I've been going back and forth with this site explaining the things that are going on could not be happening with a random system, they asked me to get players names and hand numbers so I did. There response was to block my account steal the last couple dollars and try and shit me up!!! Online poker is a complete scam all the rooms are the same, variance and bad luck is their way of stealing your money it's that simple!!! You can not go back look at hands that are suspicious as hell and it be Mathematically possible to be random online poker is done!!!

 

[uri73796]

There is a lot of opinion,but I have not had to face the case to not trust online poker.

 

[Fushicho]

Yes I do trust online poker. I've seen so many things happen in live games even thought you see more hands online, I know that ridiculous odd can hit or miss.

I've shuffled and dealt some way out there hands and runner-runner outs that you just wouldn't believe! So what-ever happens online I just think, it's random baby!

 

[Spielkind]

Yes, if the withdraw is on my Bank

 

[schtiuky]

sometimes i realy doubt it.

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 LOVE this answer and appreciated the insight on the video...Totally agree with this answer and not just the answer itself, but the SANITY of the answer...

This game will drive you to drink, or worse, drive you to the asylum...IF YOU LET IT...So the last thing that a good player needs is to add to the frustration of lesser quality players sucking out with lesser quality hands by thinking that the site itself is also against them...My wife and I have always thought that it is ridiculous to think that any poker site would spend the time to cheat a player out of the prize money to give it to another, or even funnier, create a bot to win the prize money from a tournament, when the site's money is already built into the entry fee of each player...

Thank you Nathan Williams for putting into words what I have long believed, not only about the sites, but about what can happen in any game of chance...Look forward to watching more of your videos...

If the truth is that I am 13 years old playing online and if I trust their system, although sometimes there are hands that are impossible, but well, that's how poker is.

poker is like the beach, if you get in the deep you can drown

 

[PenguinJeff]

One last thought...If so many people have trust issues with online sites, why are there so many people still playing? If I truly thought that I was being cheated out of my money, I would stop playing altogether...

 

[besplatnee]

Such doubts are sometimes visited, there probably are. Possible deception on the part of the rms rooms. I try to play on the map, but it doesn't really help.

 

[UberRogue]

I trust poker sites as much as I trust any fast food place.

I never bought into the idea that poker sites are out to get you as that would not make sense. If a site makes me believe otherwise then I would stop playing there.

 

[19aleks57]

There are all kinds of incredible combinations in the game and this is what makes poker interesting.

 

[clave7777]

Like I previously have said, it seems that on line seems to help the weaker player with straights and flushes hitting about 90% on line for chasers on the river. Would they try and help weaker players so they dont get discouraged and stay at the tables to spend more money in the future?

 

[Chris465]

I used to feel that 888 felt more realistic than the other sites. That being said since they upgraded their App recently I have noticed a distinct change in the site and also believe it’s riddled with Bots now. There’s no way a real person plays hands like they do and go runner runner that many times in a row.

 

[papapokera85]

I am very. But so far there are no big successes! But still ahead, I will drag victories Ur)

 

[Dimission]

Not always, but that's the beauty of the game. You can sometimes progress in a tournament with such luck.

 

[Driquez]

Nothing tells me not to trust the sites im playing on.
