Yup. it's true. I don't know how, but at the B&M, they always screw me.
I'm almost positive that the dealer didn't give us a "truely" random deck.
And I'm guessing that the big guy with the eagles jersey on was a bot.
And I think the old lady with the oxygen tank worked for the casino, cause she kept getting lucky with bad cards.
Yup. It just goes to show you that online casinos are the only fair place to play poker. Those B&Ms just stack the deck against you every time.
BTW - My friends house is also rigged. How is it that someone can be delt an A high flush to beat me with my K high flush. It has to be rigged. I'm too good a player to lose.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I have to agree with Humphrind. There have been too many situations in live poker that I have been working the deck, dealing my friends aces, signalling our holdings to each other. We totally screw the rest of the table, it is awesome. Live poker is most certainly rigged, and I have proof. 8-) I simply don't trust human dealers further than I can throw them, which, if you saw my biceps you'd realize is not incredibly far.

It was the joking reply to a flurry of "online poker is rigged" posts.
Satire at it's finest.

I came home thinking the same thing after last night's live game at the local poker social club playing 5/5 NL.
On three consecutive hands I lost with:
- Flopped top two pair to a rivered sucker straight.
- Turned K-high flush to a rivered full house (not even a good kicker for the set).
- Turned two pair to a rivered gutshot straight.
Played all of them well, just got the calls (which I wanted) and the guy caught. Somehow I managed to still make money on the night.
No more posts about online being rigged, eh?

it's not unusual for top two pair to lose to a straight. when you flop two pair with high cards in your hand, you often lose to a broadway when a third (or fourth) high card falls. i saw it happen about five times yesterday playing $3/$6 at the taj mahal.
this table had to be craziest i've ever seen offline. every single hand was a monster. three high cards on every flop, or three of the same suit, and they would improve to four-straights or four-flushes every time. two pair on the board about four times. paired tens on the board about four times, including once where i flopped a set of jacks and got into a monstrous capping war with ATs. because the table was so wacky, i actually feared losing to quad tens. two aces on the flop about four times. a board of AQQKA where the winner had AA and thought he had a full house. i half expected him to lose to a royal! i myself misread my hand (97s in BB) for a mere straight when in fact it was a straight flush!! it was absolutely unreal. AA vs AK. QQ vs JJ. i saw AA dealt out at least four times in only two hours before the table broke up. by that time i had tripled my buy-in from $120 to $360, the most profitable session of my life!!

i just turned 21 and went to the casino this past friday night...
while i was waiting for my table this guy working in the pit sat down at a empty table with about 4-7 decks and was arranging them around....i kept watching him and he clearly looked like he was rigging a deck,i was in shock....i didnt know if i should turn right around and cash my chips out or not to worry about it since the dealer is shuffling them pretty good,i started watching the dealers closely and i didnt know what to think....i was so nervous bout it i had them take my name off the 5-5 no limit game i was waiting for and played for lower stakes untill i could get a close feel of the dealers....my dad used to beable to deal almost anything in a deck of cards so i could kind of watch for it and they wasnt doing anything out of the ordinary like thumbing the deck...so i would have to disagree about the live play in a casino is rigged...if it was every damn dealer would be marking decks with their thumbs and i didnt see it all night long

Dude you need to watch the players, not the dealer. Live poker is rigged by the players themselves. What I usually do is wear a thick coat when I go to the table. I still wear it even in the summer because it shows how hardcore I am. In the pockets of my coat (secret pockets I had sewn on the inside by my mom) I stuff ziplock bags full of poker chips that my friend made that look exactly like the casino's chips. My friend is a computer hacker and he is good at that kind of stuff. I make sure that I keep the chips that I actually bought in for in a tall stack in front of me. When I need more chips I just reach inside my jacket when nobody is looking, get a handful of chips, and act like I "accidentally" knocked down my real stack. When the real stack gets knocked down I just drop the ones I had in my hand into the pile and proceed to re-stack them like nothing happened. Even if I lose I can just take my homemade chips to the cage and get them cashed out because the casino can't even tell them apart. Watch your neighbor, not the dealer my friend.
