@PokerInsider:
Hmmm ... I see what you are saying. If this is true, it would mean that it would be more difficult that it should be to win money. Is this a problem? I would say for those that leave from poker, yes that would be, but even so they might still earn more playing 8-tabling 200NL online then 1-table 1000NL Live in a casino.
Concerning, the beats of the river cards, I guess that everyone that starts playing poker feels at certain point that sites are rigged seeing sometimes some flops, turns or river cards. However, I feel that there is a way to check whether a site is rigged. If you use a tool like PokerEV and you check your all-in real wins against expected wins you should break even at the long run (it doesn't mean that at a certain moment you could be losing more then you expect or win less). In my PT DB I have around 75k hands and I'm losing about $-100 (Winning at Party, losing at PS and Everest). Someone that has huge amount of hands at PS (for exmaple) could run the same and check it. In the long run, it should be close to break-even.
Just to finish, I just had a nice funny situation in a home game (I was dealing the cards and I did not cheated). I was all-in against a friend. I had 42o and he had 66, the flop was A5J the turn was 9 and the river was ... well you know which card it was, no? Of course a 3! Damm it!! Home games are also rigged
