I have had the same thoughts in the past.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.
Bad beats is another way of eleiminating players easy, the cheap programme sets up very good hands against very good hands to reduce the numbers quicker.I have had some Bad beads that makes me doubt un online poker
would the poker site allow you to see a proof a wrong doing they would hide it otherwise no one would play on their siteI trust until I see proof of wrong doing
Very TrueI don't think there are BOTs being used at the level I play. Micro MTT, however, I am convinced that sites like Poker Stars use the information they have on players to create outcomes which will inevitably lead to players making deposits hence they keep their cash flow growing which is the required outcome for corporations..
Worth thinking about, it would be an easy to bully a player to fold if other players collude to eliminate him, easy to call a raise against one playe but 3 or 4 would make you think moreI have had the same thoughts in the past.
It is important to realize that many more hands get played in an online session compared to a live game at a casino.
There has been cheating forever online and in person...just a fact.
How easy would it be for two, three, four, Frat Boy's sitting in the same room comparing hands?
What about free long distant calling on a cells or hard line phones? Could there not be Real Time Collusion?
with this i disagree, i have spoken to helpline on sky poker regarding my freeroll games not responding or working as they should, they told me that this does not really interest them as i am not depositing any money to their site which makes sense. my response was that if they didnt want to look after their freeroll players they should not have freeroll torneys which they appear to have droppedI do not believe online poker sites have a vested interest in the outcome of hands played or tournament winners. They already got the rake. IE " I don't care who my customers are, only that I have them."
