Ok. So we've all had our moments when we were convinced that online poker is RIGGED. Some theories suggest that the poker sites operating on "the fringes of USA law" such as:

intertops
CARBON
BLACK CHIP POKER
AMERICA'S CARDROOM
TRUE POKER
FULL FLUSH POKER
BETONLINE.AG
JUICYSTAKES
ACED
POKERHOST
LOCK

have random number generators that are skewed in some way (i.e. not random). People complain incessantly about how their AA's or KK's are constantly beat by the weakest pocket pair, or how two pairs are always sucked out by completed flushes or full houses on the river and etc.... We are all familiar with these stories; at one point or another in our poker careers, I'm sure we've all had our doubts about the sanctity of online poker as it is currently offered in the USA after black friday.

So now that poker is actually legal in your state, I would like to know whether or not the experience has been different.

Do you feel the new sites you play on are in any way "more fair" than the sites mentioned above?

Do hands appear to be more "random" than they were on the sites listed above?

Do you now have faith that since online poker has been regulated in your state there is FINALLY a SAFE and FAIR place to play online poker?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

italics or bold are good ways to emphasize without having to use all caps or any words that are all caps for that matter. Just thought would point that out.

Most of his post, have been in caps!!

I use caps to emphasize particular words or if I am listing the name of a company.

I didn't realize it was such an issue. I am not writing all of my post in Caps, just some words....in this particular posting, i happen to mention the names of a number of poker sites hence the caps used in those cases.

In my previous posts I do not write in all caps. I have never done that actually. In general I don't think people have a problem with capitalizing a few words for emphasis but if it is that much of an issue, I will keep this in mind for future posts.....

Odd words here and there are okay for emphasis in posts - but never in thread titles please.

It's the same poker everywhere...all the theories about all the offshore sites being rigged whether to make you the victim of bad luck to take your money or the rng being skewed in favor of action pots are spread around by people like me who have selective memory and are just on a rant to try and make sense out of a game that seems so cruel so often.

There's nothing to those theories.
