If you all have that many bad beats,there must be the same number of players having good cards. These won’t complain here. Think about it

I have no doubt in my mind online is rigged. Its disgusting how many bad beats i take and see. I cannot make money online because best hand does not hold up preflop or after the flop. only solution is not to play.

Internet Poker is totally rigged. I find it hard to believe that after all these years people are still wondering and asking that same question. There is nothing random about the so called RNG they say they use. The only way to make a huge profit at the end of the year is to deal ACTION. Internet Poker is nothing more than a business. The more people that play the more money they make. The less people that play the less money they make. How long would the bad players stay around after losing their money day after day? 1-2 weeks maybe? How long would a bad player stay around if he could get his win every now and then and have fun too? Forever? We all know that if a website has lets say 30,000 players that atleast half or more are bad players. So, if after a few weeks of losing money day after day a bad player would simply leave and probably never come back and play for real money again. The Poker Sites can’t make billions like this and they know it. The only way to make the Billions of profit each year is to keep everyone happy and playing. From a business standpoint it is a great idea. I also think that it is the only way for a Poker Site to survive with huge profits. If a Poker Site had only great players you would only see maybe 3,000-6,000 players on a site at any given time. They could not make it work off of that. Also, if the site had only the great players playing you would not have as many hands being played. The Poker Sites can’t even come close to a healty profit at the end of the year and they know this. They also knew all this information before even opening up. A Poker Site is not cheap to open and operate at all. They have to keep a lot of players playing all the time or they just can’t make it work. A site could not stay in business if they didn’t make a lot of action happen. That is why cards are being handed out like they are. In cash games it is to max the rake – In tournaments it is to knock people out so they can enter another tournment. All you have to do is sit in and watch for a while. You will see so many premium starting hands being dealt and then huge action flops to guarantee big play. You will see so many stacked hands dealt, like: AA – KK – JJ hand after hand.(sound familiar)? Action flops – like a open end straight draw and a flush draw and 2 pair all on the same flop – hand after hand – These types of hands and flops are very rare and hardly ever seen in live Poker. I’m not saying that you will not see it from time to time because you will. But, I am telling you that you will not see “nowhere” near the times you will on Internet Sites. I know alot of people use the defense that it is because you see so many more hands than you do in live play. But, in fact you see just that more many bad beats. A great way to see how true random cards are delt: Try this – sit at your kitchen table – shuffle good and deal out a full tables worth of cards(9 or so hands) then turn all the cards up and see what all the hands look like. There will be maybe 2 hands most of the time that are worth playing at all. Play all the hands though – Also deal the flop-turn and river. You will notice that most of the time 1 pair will win- every now and then 2 pair or a flush will hit – even with playing all 9 hands. Just don’t try it one time, do it as many as you have time for. You will only see pocket pairs being dealt every now and then in the same hand – you will only see pocket pairs like AA and KK being dealt in the same hand once in a blue moon. How often do you see that on the net? Usually if you do deal 2 pocket pairs in the same hand it will be more like a AA vs 55 or something that the two players would not get into a big preflop war with.. I am not saying that Poker Sites are out to robb you of your money. But, I am saying that Poker Sites are not giving you what you are expecting – A true game of poker> They are just doing their best to keep everyone happy and playing. My personal belief is that if they had to deal a straight-fair game of poker hand after hand they could not stay in business. You will never see a totally regulated Internet Poker Site for that exact reason. Live poker is a game of skill – Internet poker is more like a lottery. Luck!

can only agree – my impression is that fulltilt is rigged like hell. never saw so many bad beats, runner runner, AA against KK or QQ in only 1200 hands, AA against quads. First two days I was on their winners list, hitting very flop, next two days the 100% profit and the deposit wnet throught the funnel – not really bad play, but mostly unbelievable hands – btw – not taliking about one table, but 2-3 tables at different levels. I actually had the same impression already a couple of months ago – Went through the same shit at that time (deposit, win, lose, since I won on ohter sites without a problem (sites where I can use PT) I considered to give it a second try – it was for sure the last one. Will stay with Stars and Party

This is one of the better critiques on FTP I’ve seen. I agree with most of your points, and we are working on the problems you mention– hand histories are coming in the next month, and as we grow, we get more bad players.

As for you winning? All you had to do is ask. Let me flip this bit right here…

The site’s are not rigged…. however, if they were rigged in favour of poor players, the sites would make more money.

My Blog – Is Online Poker Rigged?

Again, I don’t believe they are rigged, but the sites stand to make more money if they were.
