WCOOP online tournament (pokerstars)

#1 19th August 2006, 6:33 AM

Anyone else in here going to try out the WCOOP tourneys at Poker Stars in the middle of Sept to Oct 1st. Its a lot of money to dump on a single event for me, I was wondering are these things rigged or checked for cheating and other stuff like that. If any of you cardschatters are going to enter any of these tourneys, I'd be interested to know which ones. I think I might try Omaha Hi/Lo and Stud and maybe limit holdem, but I'm not sure yet. Holla at me.

Yes they are rigged. Everything is rigged. All poker sites are rigged. Especially at PokerStars where there are like 50,000 people playing at any given time. And especially the WCOOP. That's rigged too. As soon as you register, they have a complex algorithim that predetermines what spot you finish in. But what ever spot that is, it will be no better than the bubble. What a scam. And you know the sites are rigged if you take a bad beat.

In fact, I'm not sure why you play online poker at all.

I'm playing the $500 opening hold 'em tournie and probably $200 HORSE. won seats to both in satellites (actually won a seat to the $200+R hold'em, but am going to use it for HORSE) and i'll keep trying for limit and PL short handed hold'em i think, maybe razz. I'm sure pokerstars takes player cheating very seriously, as far as the whole rigged thing goes... i'm not too concerned at least.

Very nice job. Good luck to both of you. Haven't actually decided if I'll be playing.

All the Omaha ones, the razz, and the horse

Might play one NL, but only if not a crazy number of entries.

As for the rigged stuff. Two words :- It isn't
