this is a controversy that will never go away. i guess we should all just learn to live with it. id does make you wonder though, the kind of mind that is susceptible to such fears.

by the way, i cracked pocked aces last night with 74o. if you wanna know how these things happen, its not because of rigging, its because of tragic misplays:


UTG minraises with AA. three callers. im in BB with 74o, this is an instacall for me. flop A56. i check, set of aces bets about half pot with one caller. i call. turn 3. i check. aces bets half his stack, other guy folds, i put him all in, and he misses the boat.

i think the rigged theories come from people who dont know how to play flops. they simply look at the end result, regardless of the fact that each street increasingly affects hands relative value.
