I know everyone complains about badbeats online. I've played two sites... partypoker and bodog and constantly see people in the chat complain that this site is the worst for badbeats. Is this just whining or have those of you who play multiples sites found certains sites to be worse than others. If so which ones.
thanks

I have accounts with 27 different online poker rooms. I have seen nothing to make me believe that any of them has a deal which is anything other than perfectly random.

There is lots of grumbling in forums like this one alleging that online poker is rigged, but no evidence. On the contrary, whenever I have seen a statistical analysis of a sufficiently large sample, it has demonstrated that card distribution is very close indeed to expectations.

I understand that a starting hands analysis has been done (see AA rigged test) and that it shows that they come up as often as they are supposed to.

Has anyone ever done a statistical analysis of how many times AA comes up against KK, or how many times runner, runner flushes hit?

Its not the sites, its the players.

Partypoker is heavily advertised in the UK so naturally people register out of curiosity and play the freerolls.

They dont have a clue and will call anything with everything. Sometimes they get found out, sometimes they win.

No site itself is any worse than the other, but the players taking part certainly do differ in skill leves depending on how popular they are.

I have been playing online poker for 5 yrs or more and have played live poker for many more than that. I will say that while they are many online players who will call with any 2 cards I still have never been rivered as much in live play poker as I have been in online poker.
