Hello, Sorry it has been so long since I have responded to this thread. I gotta say, I'm extremely happy to see all the feedback and discussion here that is awesome! It really gave me alot of new incite on the various poker rooms available to me here in the USA. Thank you very much Dakota-xx for extending the poll and keeping things going. Your time is appreciated, and I got tons of great information out of this thread.
I'm glad to know that at least there is a few sites where USA players can come to play poker in the privacy of their home and not get their money taken from them in some sort of scam.
OK, There's just one question I want to be sure of (its the only thing that I am curious about now in regards to safety of the sites)...
Are the sites rigged in
any way?
Is it just as legitimate as sitting down with a deck of cards and playing a legitimate game of poker at Bovada/Carbon/WPN/etc?
I just wanted to be sure that I wouldn't be getting into a situation where the game is putting up cards that give incentive for players to put more money into the pot to increase action. For instance, say they could make a player hit a straight or flush, but loose to a full house or better more than statistically possible, to increase player action.
I've seen a rather funny video of a guy yelling about this on youtube, not sure if hes trolling or not but It looked like he had a point.
It would be the same difference as a slot machine almost hitting 777 over and over to keep the player there dumping their money in.
Has anyone noticed this type of unfair game play?
Any advice to give to someone transitioning from hand dealt to digital
poker games?
Thank you for your time and wisdom, it is much appreciated. I plan to make my first deposit by next friday
Have a nice evening everyone.
