Doubts about Poker Sites ( 888 , stars ... )

sometimes while playing online poker , i feel like something is not right !! cuz i can t see what s really happening , it s all programs working , so we can never know the truth the cards we get are been dealt randomly or there is a thing behind it ?
this is only in Online Poker
What s your opinion about this mysterious thing ?
is there a way we can know that nothing is going on ?

If you feel like something is not right, you have a decision to make: keep playing or quit. There are obviously things going on. There is collusion and bot rings for starters. Then there is the question of whether or not your experience of variance is somehow controlled or if it is truly random and your mind just playing tricks on you. There's no way to really know that nothing is going on... because there are definitely things going on. The bigger question is just how much is going on.

IF YOU DONT TRUST THEM DONT PLAY ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE'.

The sites you mention (888, stars...) are big reputed names in poker industry. They earn millions and they spend millions in the form of freerolls and other incentives. Do you think they will destroy their reputation by doing something wrong?
These sites always adopt a fair play policy and that is one of the reason they attract lot of players.

Sometimes I do feel that when I'm playing online some outcomes are predetermined and would never happen on real tables. . However playing live tournaments can produce some unique outcomes as well.

There are certain type of things that need to be mysterious.It's a waste of time thinking about control of the game or something like that.Let's speak about hand of yours, what you think about this

As long as your a winning player, don't worry.
When you're not winning, see if the price is worth the fun.
Several reports of cheats can be found, including on cc.

Many more accusations are around, see the 'it's rigged megathread', often fueled by:
- if I'm winning, I'm good
- if I'm losing, it's rigged

Luck of the draw is a two edged sword. Think of how many times you've hit a big hand; the other 8 players at the table are just as lucky as you.
