Posted by CanadianAces: well the one that stands out for me is the quad kings on the flop. Villian goes all in with nothing but AQs and ends up getting a royal flush on the next two cards. The odds of that happening are astronomical and totally unbelievable
I don't remember who it is but the player hero , in that hand is a brm member.

No harm in trying elsewhere but my gut tells me you'll eventually run into the same problems no matter which site you go to.

Rigged threads make me a little angry. I work hard to improve and my results are starting to reflect that. It's kind of insulting when someone says it's rigged. It implies that my hard work and good play have nothing to do with my results.

It's just sickening me when someone like OP claims that they study the game, yet have no clue about variance, and once they see they fail they claim the site is rigged. Every successfull (and even semi-successful player) had to put in work and time into their game, and continously have to (even if that's just thinking deep about situations) to keep up with the game. However I can't believe OP 'studied' their game properly (maybe wrong source of content, I don't know), and them thinking it's because the site is rigged shows good enough the statement isn't valid IMO... I could teach a person that never played poker in their life in a few hours of time to beat micro SNGs, so I don't think it's possible to be losing there after 'studying the game' much, unless the content is very bad of course.

To be fair he does say he's 50/50 on whether it's rigged or not which is a lot better than most rigged poster. They are usually 100% convinced and no amount of reason and logic will shift them from that position.

I was looking at that website and it's just total complete utter Bullshet.. they play like ak is the absolute nuts and poker is rigged when their a-k gets beaten by queens? fux off man for real... just work hard and improve your game everyday and in the end you will come out on top.
Of course is rigged. Riggidy-rigged by some heavy lifting oil rig guys. Then all of them went out to write a blog about it, posted it on twitter, insta'd it then benefit from all of these - slapping on the back from fellow 'truthers'... Of course is rigged, how else could a bot be winning 3 times a million jermajesties on spin&go while the micro player who's at the peak of his knowledge left his table empty pockets.

I am sorry mate, but if there is a pokersite out there, where you can be sure that it isnt rigged then it is definitely pokerstars. In this busines there is no absolute certainty of course, bu pokerstars is as close as it gets.

Seriously? Maybe you should consider dating with a daughter of top executives just to get closer to the fact(s)? Oh, well, you know she might give you a bad beat or two? Please let us know how it went when you get a chance.
Sincerely, Tony

Ok ok ok So its not rigged, fine! But its tugh to sit and play and grind to get yourself a decent stack only to finally get A decent hand and have to play it aggressively because some idiot pushed his whole stack into the middle with J3 suited and u have no way of folding your AA preflop and then he gets a miracle flop and out runs you. Or you build a massive lead in an mtt and another idiot has half your stack and pushes all in and u have AA and his 66 outruns you and then he gets another miracle hand to beat your QQ to knock you out. I could go on and on and on. I must just be the unluckiest guy lol. Or because im working with a limited bankroll and it means more to me so these beats seem that more outrageous.
Ive passed all the quizzes with better than 90% @ sitngo strategy.com ive also followed the free sitngo advice offered at sitngo planet. Not to mention the countless other games. I understand ROI and how to play tight at the beginning of tournaments and when to lossen up. I can fold a pair of QQ when four handed and someone shoves on the bubble of a sitngo and im 3rd in chips etc etc. Im not an idiot. Im not a pro but im not a fish neither. Ive tried harder over the last 365 days than at any other time playing online. So when I see a site with that much effort saying pokerstars may be rigged I have to question wtf? Maybe I shouldn't have said it was rigged, but whos to say definitively that it isn't biased in oe way or another. I just need to try somewhere else and see if it makes any difference to my bottom line. It certainly cant hurt right?
Besides im willing to bet that at least 75% of online players there have felt it at some point or other. Maybe im wrong and I have to dig deeper who knows. I guess time will tell

Your results may be better elsewere. Thats not because that sites "not rigged" its because pokerstars has some of the best player in the world playing there, theres even plenty of micro pros. Try partypoker ipoker even some fulltilt games have softer players.

Hi when you will play real poker that's not rigged go to your local casino and use the internet poker only for train your skills.I made this and it's works fine.For me I will not play vs the software,I will play vs other players and the only way to do this is in a real casino.I have win in online poker but many times is happens to me that I'm not win over days and I'm every hand in front on flop and turn.I know the math and the statistics but I loses so many times 9 from 10 hands in a row where I was in front.That can happens I know but not so many times over days or weeks. So anyday I decide to play only in casino to win money and online poker to play only for fun and training and for me its works fine

I have played live poker once a week for about 2 years and i have seen a lot of unlucky beat like you see online. I have also seen donks like online. So when you tell me taht live poke is better its because you dont play it very often.
When you play online you will have a lot more hands than live and also a lot moore players this is the big difference.
I am prety sure that you never playe live a tournament with over 1 000 players which is the standard online.
....absolutely anything is possible so,..... !!
