As a player who's still new to real money online poker i make my first post now because i've seen for one year now very strange things like you all but after a very strange session yesterday i would appreciate your comments to the following situations: SNG 30 entries 10+1 15 players remaing 10-handed MP2 raises 4xBB i fold in CO pos with rags SB shoves AI BB shoves AI MP2 folds showdown: SB shows 82o BB shows 8so flop: 82J ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? MTT 500 entries 10+1 later stage (90 players remaining) BB400 i raise 3xBB from hijack with AKs (my stack 4000) button calls SB folds BB moves AI with over 16000 call button folds Showndown: BB A8o flop 8T2 no A no K.... i'm out against 88 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? SNG 30 entries 10+1 24 players remaing 10-handed UTG+1 calls all fold including me SB raises 4xBB BB folds UTG+1 calls flop: 3Q7 rainbow instant AI from UTG+1 within 0.2 seconds (seemed without even thinking about it). SB thinks for a few seconds and calls showdown: SB TT UTG+1 Q3s ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? i would appreciate any comments because meanwhile i'm really wondering about such moves. We all can discuss those hands and find one reason or another. Donk moves.... fishes.... but that all doesn't make really sense. Especially a showndown between two AI with 82o with a flop of 82 is something where i don't know really what to say. After a very good start i now will change to another poker room and start a projekt because i have a suspicion and i'll try to find evidence. |

online poker is rigged, hence the bad beats. The reason poker sites do this to the better hand is because the players figures that in the long run they will win, so they come back to play more. The fish on the other hand, get lucky and come back to play more. See, if the fish lost their chips everytime they got it all in with the worst of it, they'd have to deposit money more frequently. It's all about keeping the maximum players in the website as possible. One huge reason sites such as Noble are rigged is because there is no one to police the site. If a fish wins more often than a shark over the course of a 100 hand period, no one can press charges because it's not illegal! Why? because the fine print within the terms of aggreement for the site states that it does not take responsibility for long-term bad beats. So long as the rake is maxed out, they make their max profit. The trick for us good players to get around this type of bullshit, is to not play against the fish. When this happens, we only play against equal or stronger players and the website goes into a 'neutral' mode, where true poker takes place. You know how some people cheat in live games? ie signals to teammates, sneaking peaks at cards, dealer collusion with players etc... well, it's a hell of a lot easier to program software incoreectly behind closed doors than to cheat infront of 10 other players. hope this helps. gl btw and welcome to FTR. |

Well friends i thank you for your comments and i apologize for placing the post in the community forum. Hope that the Gorilla will forgive me but i thought that because this is not about just one single topic in general i would have to place it here. Btw what would be the right place ? If i got you right that poker sites are judging players by their style of play and decide about the category the player would have to be placed in ???? And because of this decision the poker site decides if the player has to win or how often he has to lose ???? Did i undersatnd this right ? If so i honestly don't understand this and at the end it seems that several players are thinking what i think. Would be great if somebody could let me have the link to the post about rigged poker sites and would you kindly explain what rigged means in that context ? I'm german and my english isnt that good so i guess i don't understand completely what rigged means. |

When I use the word 'rigged,' what I'm referring to is altered software. Faulty software is any software that is programmed in a way that is not 100% random. Hope that helps. flomo, regarding your bingo bango comment: I thought I was the only person who said that! When I'm playing live and push all in I'll frequently say bingo bango and I always get weird looks or questions from other players. |

Juergen, suchen Sie die Seite fuer "rigged". Es ist nicht wahr. Die leute hier macht spass. Lesen Sie alles in die "Beginners" forum was "sticky" ist, und dann koennen Sie wieder hier kommen! Probieren Sie bitte nicht die "82o" leute zu verstehen. Das kann man nicht tun. Die sind einfach dep. Nimm ihr geld (manchmal) und sag "Danke". Jeez, I haven't written in German in a while. That was rusty. Welcome to FTR! |

well folks... seems that some people are thinking that there may be a problem with online poker sites... some don't. Thank you Chris for your efforts writing in german. Was pretty good what you have written but i don't agree with you. We all now that there are people playing so donkish that you can't believe it sometimes and we all know that quite unbelievable things have happened in the past and will happen in the future when we are talking about poker. People are playing without any logic and because of randomly generated hands the craziest things can and will happen. But the combination of circumstances and facts we are facing leads imo to just one logical explanation. Especially when we think about how something can be realized and what the results are. As i said i have a suspicion and if that would be the truth we could clearly see why so many of those strange things have happened and of course everybody knows why... money. And money always has been the reason for weird things to be happen. As long as it is me to think about it and if i decide not to continue playing online poker it is pretty much unimportant to anybody. But i want to change to another poker site now and see what happens. The poker rooms i have been (2 in this one year) and i want to change to all have something in common. I would like to convince myself whether i'm crazy or the logical explanation is so simple (and disgusting). I would appreciate if somebody could tell me if there is a poker site where i maybe can be nearly sure that the site is not rigged and that i will find fair environment. |

hmmm. the interesting thing is that i am playing actually on one of the top 5 ranked poker rooms on FTR.... another nice hand cash game 0.50 - 1.00 (have to say that i'm judging my self a tight regular player and i guess my image at the table should be so) i'm on CO and i raise to 4 with AJs BB calls flop 4s9sJd BB goes immediately AI with his remaining 12$ and i make the call he flips over Jh3d turn 3 !!!! river T nice one don't you think ? |

I can show you hundreds of those, and I can also show you the fact that despite them, I am up over $1,000 this month. And I'm a terrible poker player. Now, what I want you to realize is that your opponent in that last hand had a 10% chance of winning. That means 1 out of every 10 times he will win. Further, if you have a hand like QJ, you might fold when he shoves. When viewed in that light, his play, while not good, is not unreasonable. He was semi-bluffing. It happens. The next thing you need to learn is that when this happens, youve still made money! If your opponent will win 10% of the time, then you win 90% of the time. That means you've "won" 90% of the pot (not the whole pot!). It takes a while for that math to balance out, but I promise it does. Welcome to FTR. You have a lot to learn, and I hope you study hard |

| thank you very much Euphoricism for your comment and i agree with you that i still have a lot to learn. I didn't want to express that the play of my opponent i abnormal and that there is no way to explain such a hand. I just wanted to mention that for 3 weeks now i'm facing such hands every day ! And nearly all of them are won by the opponent with the very next card on the board. I don't know but i don't think that my play was getting worse with a hard cut from one day to another 3 weeks ago. The first weeks is was slowly but constantly increasing my bankroll with a few but light downswings (as it is norm i guess). Since 3 weeks ago i'm unable to win any medium sized pot at the cash tables nor i'm reaching the bubble of SNG tournies and therefore i wonder what happened over night. I don't want to excuse my play by blaming poker rooms and i agree that usually i would fold AJ to a shove but being in a certain classification of the poker room seems to be at least an explanation. Therefore i said i will change the poker romm and see. If my losing streak continues in that very strange way that i know for sure that it is my playing style and that i have no skills. Btw i of course know the thing about 90 to 10% winning rate but what when you lose those hands at 90% of the time for 3 weeks ? | ||||

Thanks also to Meeloche for the screenshot... lol Since the dealer said: twiceasright did win the pot but the hand of the player is convered by the window it would be really interesting with what hand he did win against the 5 aces ^^ |
