Ive had it now, no one in the world can convince me that online poker isnt rigged as hell for action. Most of them use the same software. Everytime i play, when i get a good hand someone push all in on flop or preflop. I turn the best hand EVERYTIME it happens and get bad beated or sucked out. The one time i choose to call cuz i KNOW i have the best hand i lose. Always I find it very hard to believe that i lose with the best odd's everytime. And i know i do better at live games. I am sure those sites are a ripoff.. I havent won a SNG the last 25 games.. They are all bad beats or suckouts, maybe a tilt or 3. Its just wrong, i play the best odd's and keep losing..

I know what you mean and i understand totally especially the way have been running but i honestly dont think its rigged or anything. Sometimes its best just not to play for a week or something but as i said i dont think its rigged .. they have too much to lose. I hope your bad run ends sooon

Thank you, im just in a bad mood cuz of this. But im starting to think if im that bad i should quit. I cant win with the best hand, i cant be lucky like the players who keep bad beating me. I cant play poker at all i think... lol What am i doing wrong? Seriously its never been so bad
ffs, as im writing thisi get another beat. 3 kings on flop. The bingo player moves all in and turn AA. He catch A on turn... Thats how i lose all the time

there is so many reasons why you could be losing like variance and stuff ... try taking the time out to look at the hnads where you lost and see if you could of done anything different or played it another way i usually find that can help and if you think you played it the best you could then i guess its just bad luck and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it except take a break. What game are you playing ? NL hold em? another thing you can do is switch the games you play see if that helps.

First of all, poker rooms don't need to rig their sites as they earn by rakes, so more happy players then more rakes. they can't earn anything by losing a player. it times like these, it would be best to stay away from the table for a while. and by the way, the only sure hand that can win is a royal flush.

Rake is exacly one thing they would make more profit on, by rigging the sites. When i bust in a SNG i have to pay fee for another one. So if the SNG only takes 20 min each time, they are going to make alot more rake. I know no hand is a sure win, but i keep loosing with 70/30 odds? Thats not right. But there is a reason bad beat is a bad beat, and i keep losing to it But yes. maybe i should have a break.
Another thing is, i dont understand why they push like that or call when i enter the pot. Im a vey tight/aggresive player, i play very few hands. And i rarely bluff. When i hit with a good hand i play aggresive. And mostly when i lose its cuz someone else push all in after i bet. And then i get the suckout. So much for table image
If you're playing at FullTilt then id like to say that when i play there i notice 10x the amount of bad beats and suckouts as pokerstars, if not then honestly its HORRIBLE Luck. .. Ive spent a good amount of time at ALOT of different sites and i believe that pokerstars has one of the best randomizers and is one of the closest to the odds you get in a live game. Many times stupid people go All in and no one hits a pair.. high card wins.. which i have never seen at FullTilt.

Sites wouldn't make money from rake by being rigged. The massive negative publicity that they would generate if they were "outed" as rigging the game and the subsequent drop off in numbers would way outweigh the gains of rigging the site. Online casinos are way too much of a cash cow for their owners to jeopardise this by rigging their sites.
Also why would they rig SnGs or tourneys? They have the rake already? There's no gain really in rigging it.
You just are probably hitting a bad patch of variance. Bakera makes a good point of reviewing the hands you have played that were big losers. You should also try post them here and ask for advice.
Taking a break from poker is also a good idea if your in this frame of mind

I didnt say they were after me, i said they are rigged for action. Who takes the money? They take the money, in small potions.. Called fee/rake [/QUOTE] i think it's all in your head... off course sometimes u get beaten so bad and u cant believe it... happens to us all!! Take a break for some days/weeks, relax and forget all about the sites being rigged and all... Your luck will change if u believe it trust me!
