when the people complaining about sites are those with 91 hand experiments, $100 dollar "poker gods", people trying to say that 50 hand datasets show ANYTHING, and that OMG 7 of their last 80/20s lost, it really reminds me why I make so much money from online poker.
Thank you for getting rid of my guilt from poker - it's good to know I'm just taking money away from idiots.

Pokerstars is by far the biggest donkfest I have played at. It's like a slot machine. The more you raise, the more hammerheads call you. I have taken ridiculous beats there on gut shot crap. If there is a prayer to get a straight or flush, and you are almost guaranteed to get called. I only play SNG's and tourneys and PokerDonks is by far the worst I have played at. I'll take the loss there and move on. Been at Absoulte and royal vegas. Wish they had more traffic at Royal Vegas. Pacific fucked me over by closing. That was like having a printing press for $ in your home.
All you fucking donks at PokerDonks can go fuck yourselves and I am glad you are losing your asses.I guarantee they are, playing the way those tards play. Won't be going back there.
BTW, it's not rigged, there are just so many retards at PokerDonks, that it makes it appear that way.

KK against Q3 and 22? You've got a 27.65% chance of losing. You're going to get outdrawn 27.65% of the time without the cards having to be rigged. It's the danger of slow-playing a big pair pre-flop.
The only guy who's bothered to put any stats together gets slated for the smallness of his 90-odd hand sample but a single truly unremarkable beat seems to be more than enough to convince many of the conspiracy theorists. If it is happening, the hand histories won't be able to hide it. If someone wants to come up with some numbers then I'll listen but until then, all I'm seeing is poker.

I have had a few weird hands at pokerstars, more than party I think. Prima sites like UB and All in Poker seem to have realistic play.

My Thoughts On The Poker Stars Debate:
The fool Says: "Why would they rig Poker Stars, they make millions."
I say: They rig Poker Stars because they can.
The fool says: "Poker Stars is audited by two very pristigious firms."
I say: "World Com and Enron were audited by two very pristigious firms.
Sit&Go's
Poker Stars does not have programmed bad beats, it's impossible to program that. The have 'power hands' which kick in when 25% of the table players remain. How do they do it? Well, they lower the frequency of junk cards. It's easy to program that. Why? Because it accelerates the conclusion of the game to improve the rake ratio. Who complains? No one, because everyone is getting 'good' (rigged) hands.
Can you beat Poker Stars? Of course, because they are maximizing their profits not stealing your money. Way's to win on Poker Stars:
No-limit Sit & Go's: Do not fall below 1000 during the final 4. Of course someone will be short stack but you know you are playing a rigged conclusion so make your big raises and all-in moves before the cut-off. Your odds of winning are 2-1 better on an all-in before the 1000 cut-off with the same cards.
Omaha Hi-Low Sit & Go's: Only a complete fool would consider a low hand during the final three players. It does not happen.

Poker stars is so unrealistic I would never consider playing $ there. Two days ago I watched my neighbor play for $. out of 15 straight hands 10 were full houses of flushes, two were straights. Over half of the full house and flush hands had more than one of each. having lived ic So. Calif I used to play several times a year at the old Mint Hotel in downtown Vegas. Never seen this kind of high hand mania, it just doesn't happen. Tried myself playing the play money games and saw basically the same thing, but not quite as obvious. Would never even consider playing hard earned money on Poker Stars.

Just started playing on Party after a couple of years on the Cryptologic network.
$.50/$1, 6 seater cash game.
In the first 20 hands I personally split two pots with both of us having AJ on an AJ flopped board then AK on an A K flop.
The third one was a split between two players with K 10 on..........a 10 10 K board.
I`m not one to say these sites are rigged but I`ll bet they`re more than happy to see such wonderously coincidental cards coming out one in seven hands....
Imagine all that rake.............

I quit playing there like 2 years ago, I'm on the "something just aint right with the site" bandwagon. What blows my mind, is the people who post that it's rigged, and then keep playing there anyways. No bonuses, and I don't think they have rakeback either. Why is it the busiest poker site around? Weird.
