Do you REALLY think online poker is set up to some degree?

#1 1st January 2010, 1:35 AM

i find that a lot more hands are crazy online (pokerstars is the one i play), and i play taking that into account, but i'm not positive, but for example there is a 2:1 odds (33%) that you will hit your flush on a draw from the flop, for example do you think the odds are the same? or do you think they give you hands that match up more often. i understand that you play more hands online and might think that you are seeing more when you are just seeing more hands.. but what's your opinion/experience with it?

thank you

After watching more and more poker on tv, you see a lot of bad beats and remarkable hands. That being said, of course they are editing a lot of the tourneys to show more action.
I think the big difference in online play is the players themselves. There are a lot more players that play more hands and play them more aggressively. That makes the hands seem more crazy, most of the hands the players should have never been played in the first place are the ones that are more unbelievable.

It is definitely not set up.
It is out and out rigged.

yea i think the odds are the same personally but i do play a lot of live poker to but when people get sucked out in live poker they blame something else i don't know why any poker site would set up things so the worst hand would win every time i admit i do think sometimes the site just hates me but then again if i was playing live not online i would just think the dealer hates me
