Do you trust online poker?

[scobido]

Good question, if I were to answer a year ago I think I would say yes, about the site I play the most poker, but in the last year I think it tends to make me think, namely that the machine is still machine, almost games casino.

I have always been confident in online poker even though I sometimes lose amazing hands.

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 absolutely don't trust online poker. But in the absence of live poker, you have to put up with such surprises, hoping that they are random and not aimed at a specific player.

 

[Gusborgs22]

Not 100%
There is a great argument to say that online poker is trustable: in live poker you play like 10 hands / hour, in online poker you play like 10 times that, so its more often to see bad beats and coolers

Good day!
I think ordinary players will never know the truth about the "inner workings" of online poker. However, I am not an adherent of such conspiracy theories.

 

[beatlebug]

I do trust online poker. I have been playing for a long time, and never have I felt that I shouldn't trust it. Sorry to see some of the venues having to have left, but the ones today are pretty random.

It does seem rigged at times, but realistically it doesn't make sense for a site to rig the runouts or cooler particular people because of all the negative press that would come out if they get exposed doing it.

They make it statistically impossible for anyone to prove games are rigged. Theoretically AA can be the losing Hand 10 times in a row. And 2 7 the winner. pokerstars is obviously for entertainment. It’s obviously rigged.

Do I trust online poker? when I can win my faith grows but I understand that poker is like that because you can't win every day

 

[Gallarado777]

we're all players and every day you might think I'm losing but winning poker every day is very difficult even if you look at the pros, they lose a lot so it's not about trusting poker, it's just a lot of players in tournaments and you can only win these tournaments you're the only one so just play and you'll win too of course you need to trust sites you already participate in

 

[044hero]

the difference between online and offline is only in the number of tables) otherwise everything is the same)
it may just seem that you lose more often online, because you play instead of 1 table - 4 for example) and bad beats can happen much more often)
so - yes, I trust online poker)

But if it is statistically impossible to prove that the games are rigged, then how are they rigged? I think if they are rigged, then there is definitely a way to prove it.

 

[Rost]

My bankroll is growing and it makes me think that I am moving in the right direction. The game brings me joy, satisfaction and money, and therefore I have no reason not to trust the sites on which I play.

 

[georgi krastev]

Do i trust in online poker? Yeah, why i will play then(?!)

 

[tovas]

I don't trust

 

[Viparida]

well, i don´t think it is rigged but it certainly looks strange sometimes like they do some alghorithms in order to make you spend more or something like that.

 

[Suns of Beaches]

It is statistically very possible to check if games are legit or not.

All u need is few collections of huge samplesizes of hands played and then check/compare them. This has been done on stars and other sites several years ago. As far as i remember, only i-poker was out of the norm. On stars and other rooms there were no unusual abnormalities.

Dont have a link sorry.

 

[olejean]

I think everyone has an equal status in online poker if you are not ''special''...
But in general some nuances are present in my opinion...

 

[elchonga]

I trust online poker because playing live poker the same thing has happened to me as online, so I never saw anything strange
I think the difference is that online you see many more hands, therefore more ugly situations.

You would also have to know what to test for. As far as I know, statistical tests have been limited to the incidence rates of certain hands being dealt and of different draws being completed. Those are the obvious ones since otherwise you could have blatant situations where AA is being overdealt or abnormal frequencies of flushes or full houses appearing.

There are a lot of aspects about the game that aren't tested. For example, measuring normal vs. abnormal frequencies of draw collisions (how often does a straight on the flop get bested by a flush or a full house on the river, etc.). I highly doubt the statistical analyses that you're thinking of are detailed enough to look at that.

 

[R.Melnyk77]

I haven't had any problems so far, and that's why I generally trust online poker, or rather the sites I play on.

 

[NSX_Amfe2nat]

If you played enough offline poker you will believe to every hand that you play online!
I had a though that online poker can throw you out of tournament just because that is a programm but when i started to play offline i understand that we have same chances!

 

[Fepitaph]

Of course, I don't need an explanation in badbeats, you just need to understand the better you play, the less risk of being beaten even if nothing depends on you. you just have to accept these rules, as in football, for example, because this is a game of chance and everything is not so simple here. you have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe in online poker conspiracies.

 

[spectralwave]

Dude, you're not going to win every hand with AA, you always have a percentage to lose, do you think that in live poker that doesn't happen either, the variance is the same in games, both live and online, if you don't know these concepts poker basics you better study and know how much equity you have in winning hands with certain hands.

 

[nighton]

I don't believe it's rigged is only that you remember more the unlucky hands
