Submit.

What do you think? If one day pokerrooms admit that rng worked dishonestly and the cards were rigged, will people stop playing poker knowing the whole truth? Or try to play by the rules of the system?:)

It is true that soft is the same for everyone, but for me it is further proof that the rooms are manipulated. The cards are not dealt randomly, but according to previously established parameters. A dealer deals the cards without knowing which cards he deals. Software programs know which cards each player has to deal the following. And if a program that tells them which player is a fish gets in the way and it would not hurt to give him a joy to stay in the room, I do not say more.

I don't know about the majority of the poker players, but I wouldn't play online poker anymore. I already had doubts about the honesty of poker rooms, but in general I trust that online poker is legit.

Playing Online

Playing poker is a habit like many other things people do. I think it is naive for any of us to think there are not some shady things going on in online poker other then sponsored freerolls like CC freeroll.

My guess is people would still play.

GL ALL! :D

I do not think the poker rooms are rigged, by only question is about the other players at my tables. Are they Bots? can they see all the cards?

If they one day said that they they'd be lying because all of the data collected by players on the billions of hand played says otherwise...

If I know that the thing is not clear I would of course not play and since the presumption of innocence belongs to everyone I will not deal with it until the opposite turns out. (And of course, in the meantime, I hope the game is clean.)

I am dubious of RNG on the poker sites and still play. I do not feel compelled to run a round shouting "Rigged!"

It's a question of simple discipline- don't over commit. If you play in a shrewd manner you can be profitable. I enjoy the fact I play and slowly ease ahead on each site. I expect laughably bad beats and extended periods of down turns. What I do not expect is to 'sun run' and have literally never done so. But, I like the challenge and I am patient.

Life is 'rigged' on countless levels in terms of bias and advantage, the entire world runs on the expectation of profit. I do not expect (nor have ever done) that poker sites would be run in a scrupulously fair manner. If I am wrong, so what? All I have done is mitigate any potential downside to playing on line.

This is a great mindset of how to play online. If everyone thought like you it would be even more difficult then it is. Bravo!

How do you mean rigged? if they can pick and choose who's going to win, then there's no point playing, but if there's a logic behind the rng, (which there is, but is too complicated for a human brain I sure, but if not) trying to beat it would be super fun.

RNG online could be said to induce action - not give one or another player an advantage. The more action = the more rake = the more profit. It's simply business. That's not to say any single individual cannot win - though with it being RNG there will always be outlier cases of incredibly good and bad luck.

Wouldn't this be a good thing? The best thing you could do is let the fish win a few times to keep him happy and thinking he is a winning player. When I dealt. At the casino it always amazed me how much people would berate lucky fish. Don't scare the fish, do the opposite and feed them every now and then. :)

I play for fun, and make the occasional cashout, so I would still play.

The sites themselves will never admit in their life that they have falsification. This information leak can only become known from inside a former employee of the site. But I want to say that many people will continue to play no matter what.

Why would anyone bother to rig their RNG ? they make huge money from rake.

i think it`ll be just stupid to rig RNG, even if you host a huge highstakes game, a decent poker room can make 7 figures a year easy with a good player list.

its just not worth the risk
