Just want to puke

Like the other poster said, getting sick of online poker, had 35 bucks and did not want to reload the visa, so only site I could deposit was in pokerstars, so I figure ok, call over my semi pro player and man the bad beats after bad beats and on and on, I have one dollar left and the semi pro look me dead in the eye again and said it like I knew it, this shit is rigged. The more professional you play with these online sites, the more you loose. Im done with pokerstars forever, I will give someone the last dollar I have and the only redeeming factor that makes me feel good like my pro said, is dont worry well get the money back on the real live tables, you know where the odds actually hold up.

Got trips, other guy get bigger trips, get a full boat, other guy has a bigger full boat. Every 3rd hand is either trips, a straight, or a flush. Freerolls only from now on, hell the only site I do really good on is bodog. Played at bodog and even my semi pro said now these hands are holding up alot better. Its not the point of bad beats, its the point of too many monster hands coming out left and right.

wish I could get some of those monsters.

yeah its pretty sickening when you have a semi pro who has been playing for over 40 plus years and he has no reason to BS me, and he does not have a computer so the only poker online he has had is with me, even though I hit 4 kings today on pokerstars, im like wait cant blame the other guy he had a full boat aces over, just too many BS monster hands. Would love to meet just one person in real life that actually makes money at online poker, cause I have yet to meet one. See alot people talking smack on how they turn 25 bucks into 10000, yeah right something is very wrong with this whole picture, I have noticed something too, since bush and congress did a nazi sneak attack on us poor americans, I have noticed that I have not really been able to win jack crap, except on bodog and full tilt, think I will stay with bodog and full tilt and the hell with the rest of them.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm confused. Was your "semi-pro" friend guaranteed to double up your $ or is that only guaranteed from a full-out pro?

please dont go.

eh, sorry i cant pretend to care.

Just to reiterate: yawn.

lol

obviously you are qualified enough to be passing judgment on online poker and how rigged it is!

Semi-pro = obv. has to make money

If semi-pro doesn't make money = obv. rigged.

the king of diamonds obv wasnt elevant chris.

No what my intention was and I do is too show him how many hands were playing and how many monster flops come out compare to real life table playing, well the odds are way off, Im not upset to be honest LOL did good on bodog, just wanted to once again prove my point. Its makes sense common, like my bro said, if online poker was so profitable the real pros would just stay at home and take all the unskilled players money. He damm sure has a good point. See poker site wont let that happen and thats why they reward bad play. Maybe what the problem is also is maybe I suck at online poker.

Ummm. Don't they? I could have swore I saw Ivey on Full Tilt yesterday taking everyone's money>? There's also a difference between an online pro and a live pro. A string of bad hands doesn't happen in "real life"? Is that what your pro is trying to say? It doesn't matter. It's obviously rigged.

maybe it's that too many pros like the live atmosphere and are well-to-do enough to not care about the extra bb/hr made by multi-tabling. or possibly they are too computer illiterate. or SCARED OF TECHNOLOGIES.

online poker is not, infact, rigged.

I saw some of that, yes he did take everyone's money by the end of his session. He played for a few hours on Full Tilt.

That was more or less meant to have been read with sarcasm. I watched him for about 45 minutes...

He left with about $142k...

phil ivey is one player and also happens to be my bros favorite player, LOL go figure.

But the majority of real pros dont sit at home and play, gee wonder why, hey let me tell you ,the best hand in my first real tourney was a pair of fives. and I still came in second, my buddy saw the whole thing and said damm your patient, so when you see so many monster hands all the time, never mind we covered this subject, but the bottom line is guess its safe to say that I can hold my own in real life, but on a generated rigged computer program I dont stand a chance, with collusion and add donkeys into the mix and well, if you have any common sense you know what comes next.

If you don't think it's fair then don't play. I guess it's that easy. You'll have a very hard time convincing almost anyone here of it though. Have a nice day/night.

I hear you bro, just doing the freerolls from now on and having a little rant at the same time, I enjoy the CC free roll cause it seems like the players in there know what there doing, had my aces cracked by ace king go figure. I never give up, just calling out the obvious.

me too lol

I called my three-quarter pro.

He listened to me play over the telephone for three (3) hands and was able to conclude that it was not rigged.

He then told me who shot Kennedy.




(It was Oswald)

Did I miss something, I fell asleep.

For a bunch of people who have been here for a while sometimes you can be real rude. Yes, I know you've heard these complaints before. But this guy is hurting, so what do you do?, let's kick him and really make him hurt. We all have gone through hitting a real dry spell that lasts for a while. So you know what he is feeling. So if you are tired of hearing stuff like this take it to the loyalers section where you bitch to your hearts content. And how about a I feel for you buddy, stick to the freerolls or something till you feel better. He's only looking for sympathy.

Madness has been here a while, he's read and participated in "it's rigged" threads. So it's either respond with a bit of sarcasm or go into the selective recall, sample size, examples of live poker monsters etc etc response. Of course not responding at all is an option, but if people start posting unchallenged that it's rigged we'll have it becoming an accepted thing (I've seen this elsewhere it's daft).

He's been here long enough that he's clearly not buying the reasoned approach and has drafted in an "expert" who supports his views.

Forgive me for not writing yet again why it's not rigged, I don't think he wants to listen, and to be honest the responses have been pretty tame.


If he wanted sympathy he need only post that he was on a bad run and he would have got it, in spades, that's what people do round in here cause they are nice.

I have to once again claim live poker is rigged too. Played on Sat. night and got rivered 4 times by one player, which I was DOMINATING all four hands and he would not fold, (which is good, I just wish I wasn't rivered all four times) and I also saw a Royal Flush, in a live game, which we all KNOW NEVER happens, soooooo live games = OBV. RIGGEED.

I played a $0.25 six person sit and go...the game lasted less than 2 orbits.
Not a single TPTK won..the lowest hand was 1 str8, 1 flush and 8 FULL HOUSES!!!! Obvisously rigged game for sure...that's it, I've had enough...I'm NEVER playing live AGAIN!!!

Actual true story....we were playing at break during work....all six of us were laughin our butts off as it was happening...strangest dang thing I'd ever seen.

Maybe we have the definition of rigged confused here, maybe instead of saying its rigged, maybe we should just say there are too many BS monster hands coming, and what would be the sole purpose of that, well more monster hands equals more people throwing money into the pot= more money for the poker site, gee does anyone see some logic here. Guess it just sucks when your on the burning end of the stick, I am feeling bad cause I wanted to win one while my bro was here, dont know what it is maybe its just pokerstars and me. Seems that is the only site I have never made money there, outrageous horrific bad beats. and on another note I never used to run around saying online poker sites are rigged until I read over 100 posts on the internet and started scratching my head going, well all these people cant be full of shit, cause alot of what they are saying when they do say its rigged is happening to me too.

I was on chat and heard these guys talking about poker and how they get on chat and tell each other what hands they have, oh great just what I wanted to hear, guess that would not be rigging the game either huh? Guess that would not work on a live table either, or there would be alot of whoop ass breaking out on the poker table.

Actual true story....we were playing at break during work....all six of us were laughin our butts off as it was happening...strangest dang thing I'd ever seen.

Yeah well we do home games, last one we had 4 full houses in 4 hours, flushes were coming out and straights too, yes it does happen we all know that, but that is one time in like 6 months when a bunch of monster hands come out like that, my beef with the online issue is that those monster hands are coming out like clock work waaaay too often.

Collusion is one thing, and a valid argument, to a certain extent. Collusion can happen at live games as well though.

The other part "I won't say anything at all, because, I don't have anything nice to say".

That's funny you say that...I played a lot of Pokerstars over this weekend...and yes I hit a full house or two...I made $9.00 off the micro tables over the same time frame....what people DIDN'T see was how many "good hands" I folded and how many TOTAL hands I played over the weekend...


and by the way
The "semi-Pro" should keep his day job....unless you were playing with LESS than 10% of your total bankroll at any table at any one time...the semi-pro knows even less about bankroll management then he does about what constitieuts "rigged".

At most you should have taken $3.50 to the first table. If you lost that, you should have taken less than $3.15...lost that? Well you shoulda dropped to $2.80 max...lose that? $2.50 Nother bad beat? $2.30
Wow! Yet another lucky fish? $2.00 Good grief!! another loss? well now your down to a MAX of $1.80 and playing at the micro's...(.02/.05 requires at leats $2) somehow I doubt it went quiet that way.

I can't stop laughing. This thread is just hilarious.

All I can say is shit happens, usually at the worst time. Your'e just going through a bad spell bud. RIDE IT!

MackemMan

I'm laughing so hard here I forgot what the thread was about....

I'm thinking the semi pro has gotten to the semi level playing madness......

You all got it sooooooooooooooooooo wrong!
It aint online games that are rigged, its the online players who are rigged! As these were all Party Poker Players, and a real live deck of cards........

YouTube - Completely mental hand from the partypoker open.

so obvious!

I just wanted to add that I think it's funny that Bodog is the only place you say is not skewed. I've had the absolute, most unbelievable, jaw-dropping, consecutive bad beats at that site.

I'm just saying, bad beats are everywhere. Dry spells happen everywhere (including live).
