Hey guys, at the risk of potentially beating a dead horse, I had some questions dealing with Bet Online.

So I've been playing a fair amount of microstakes and have noticed some aspects which I personally have mixed feelings about.

First and foremost, I believe that "rigging" online poker really makes no sense, when you are not playing against the house but rather with other human players.

But with this said have seen really odd scenarios pop up frequently and almost predictable depending on the scenario at hand.

Whether its how the RNG operates in dealing, pre-flop, or post-flop, there almost seems to be pre-anticipated actions that I have never seen at for example (poker stars).

With so many hands, bad beats in any manner are bound to happen, thats inevitable. However, in Bet Online I can almost tell when they are going to happen. I understand we tend to remember the bad beats and not the other side, but even with that.... Something just feels.... Off.

Btw I notice it in the cash games. Tournaments don't seem to have that vibe compared to cash games.

In just wondering if anyone has anything to contribute in this discrepancy of mine.
Again, I understand it really makes no sense at all.

I wish I could add some insight into your situation, but you are preaching to the choir….lol

I have recently started a excel spread-sheet listing ever single beat I have been taking when having the best hand before the rivers when in an All-in situation.

These unrealistic beats are coming from a top tier online site that I will not mention, but to lose 100% of the time when having the best pre river hands is simply unrealistic.

I am hoping to post these results on an end of the month schedule, if I am able to capture enough games in a given month (I am looking at the very min of no less than 20 separate bad beats per month to present my lists)

So you see, you are not alone my friend ……. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Something I noticed is that it does indeed happen frequently in preflop all-in situations.

A big one I have noticed is KK preflop all-ins. I honestly get scared when I have kings because I have gotten cooler'd way more often than not. (Seriously around 70%+ of the time)


I take into account that comparing my stats to the usual odds of KK wining (something like 70%) isn't exactly sound because I am one man with a relatively small sample size in general, but even so this is something I have never seen before.


I can pull countless other examples including postflop but even just talking about this makes me feel stupid. It really doesn't make sense.


I am one for filtering out confirmation bias in anything as humanly possible, but when you see this...... Its really hard to not stop and think.

i think if you feel something is off, probably best to not play there, or invest money there , its not really about if its happening but believing something could be off, might be enouph to alter your play for the bad

Seem that on all the online room that this pattern occurs for me. If I hit my card and or cards on the flop and go all in,then I will (90%) of the time be out drawn by a very odd all in calling hand. Now I would say that that is just me being to aggressive, however I just pushed all in with aces preflop and was called (matching stacks) by a 9 7 clubs. I hit my third ace on the flop and was eventually out drawn to lose to a straight flush.Funny how this kinds thing happens so frequently.

The thing is, its not just one given scenario; bad beats happen. That's just poker. The difference between one bad beat and the prevalence of these crazy back to back situations is almost mind boggling.


For the sake of moving foward, does anyone have any suggested sites with good track records? In thinking ACR but with the recent scandals im reluctant to play there as well.


Any input is greatly appreciated.
