I can completely understand how people can become frustrated with loosing and think the stats are impossible, but like the credible author has stated, sh*t happens, I’ve had horrible strings of looses but I’ve also had increadible hot streaks, that’s how gambling goes. If you don’t like it don’t play. simple.

Done…after 6 years…to much “coincedence”/”bad beats”..started with $500 and continued to build up to about 7K..very meticulous about my play….once I won a couple of decent scores…$3000/pokerstars $3rebuy…$2700/pokerstars $5rebuy…etc..my playing style never changed…all of a sudden i can’t even cash in a $10/sng…roll comes down to $800…like i said, very experienced and meticulous, my play never changed and analysed constantly…last straw. sitting 3rd in $5rebuy at pokerstars…start with 4000 people (1st place approx. 10K), down to 80 players…I’m dealt AA and lost to A10off…2 hands later…dealt AA…trip A’s on flop..lose to 4 flush….1 hand later..dealt AA (unbelievable and completely fishy at this point)…all in against k6 off..flop A98, turn 7..river is 10….lose to rediculous str8…so pissed off I develop a spreadsheet and keep track of all AA and KK dealt to me….after one month I have AA 59 times….53 are heads up….I won 4 times……..(wtf)..how is this even possible…email support…they sent standard letter stating AA should win approx 89% of the time…..asked that support look into this (KK was slightly better at 11% win rate)…support decline and asked that I not circulate my hands/spreadsheet as they will “not” provide colaborating hands I have played and thus cannot support my claim…..imagine that…unbelievable response…frustration level getting too high and in danger zone healthwise..I don’t know what the criteria is or the reasoning behind this or who benefits…but sure as !@#$ not fun…so far from realistic poker….please no comments about seeing more hands while online….the percentages take this into account…..good luck all..have fun if possible…unfortunately I am huge fan of game but cannot be involved in this travesty of bullshit anymore………and cannot find a solution or a site that will guarantee proper play…..

If I were running a poker site and wanted to maximize profitability, I would do the following: 1) Allow new depositors to run well and build a small bank roll. 2) Bust out new players over the course of 2-4 days. 3) See how quickly they re-deposit. 4) If they re-deposit quickly, simply run them through a similar build up/bust out cycle. The gold for an online poker site is a player that re-deposits often. Re-deposits and reloads maximize money in play and profitability. As a backup, I would also have a team of killer bots or in-house players that pull in the top prizes from tournaments, sngs, and big pots from cash games. I guarantee it would not be difficult to rig the gameplay.

Bullshit. It is rigged. Why do I average $120 a night here in Vegas in casinos playing $1/2 and $2/5 games and lose my ass online? The bad beats online are unreal and happen way too often. The last hand played I raised 4x BB with JJ, another player re-raises and the final player moves all-in. I call the all-in, second player folds and other guys shows JT offsuit. The flop comes TT6…come on…..first of all, no one moves all in with JT offsuit….and then flops 3 of a kind? Bullshit. This kind of crap happens all the time online. It occurs way beyond coincidence. Of course it is in the online site’s interest to rig a site…the rake is nothing. Having their own automated computer player and dealing whatever cards they want to take your stack is much more profitable.

I quit playing online for good.
