I can't believe you took apart the whole post to do that.

Before I ever read the thread I DID vote. I voted no, and I STILL think no. I would be more apt to say that, I don' tthink it's rigged but CERTAINLY there are people out there who will cheat.

I would even take it one step further that people certainly push the limits of what you SHOULD be allowed to do at a table.

Jamie Gold last year came pretty close to cheating last year....All but telling people what was in his hand...but to say that the someone is RIGGING the game....Maybe I just don't want to believe it.

Another point has been made....that the producers put the better players against each other on TELEVISION tables. Now the question becomes though would negreanu want to play against 8 pros or 8 amatuers or a random mix?
For that matter tho, how do you know can play at least LIKE a pro?
