Well, thx all for you point of views about i-poker. I personally voted the last option which is "rigged but will always play there". Haha I see we have 4 haters of this network

I have some friends who joined them as affiliates and, although they receive bonus for conquering new players and have access to a lot of promotions and vouchers for representing the label at real casinos, they prefer to play the less possible in their software. They say they get tyred of the room design in the first half hour.

i've noticed that too, the underdogs keep on hitting their luck wich is the sickest thing ever :/ dont like it at all, they need to update their software or something the best hand is suppose to win so it must hate that luck unless its happening to me, it shouldn't
I don't think that iPoker network's software is rigged. Bad beats and downswings happen in every network. Personally I like Titan Poker very much and it's my second favourite poker room - just after the Full Tilt Poker.

Nahh, can seam like that when you start noticing certin hands, and then you look for them so they stand out more. Like some times you might see a lot of quads in 1 day. If it was rigged it would be rigged to get more rake so keeping players would be the main objective. So if rigged you would see alot more split pots,and wins going back and forward also would it be rigged against just 1 person, i guess it you who is on the receving end. And dont forget if it is rigged and you know it then its a advantage for you.

Well, today in 4 SNG I won a lot with the best hand and inflicted a bad beat to a bad player on the bubble. A victory and a 3rd place. EV+ Despite having a bad run there doesn't prove it's rigged. With a lot of people with trackers and hand databases it would be not difficult to prove stuff against the odds happens there.
It's an idea we can implement, share hand histories and let specific software make the math, and hope they don't have an anti-database sharing policy.

i also play several skins on ipoker (victor chandler, titan and mansion) and the problem as i see it is that all of these sites (with cdpoker included) have flooded their network with players playing with free money. cdpoker had their no deposit bonus going forever (now defunct) and titan and mansion both have no deposit bonuses available through several sites. the end result is that there are so many people playing real money tables as if they were play money tables. i mean, low stakes is bad at any site, but at ipoker its just an absolute joke! people are 3 and 4 betting every other hand with TJs and s**t like that. every decent preflop hand is played as an allin preflop. it turns into absolute lottery play. again, i have played prob 20 sites, and by far the worst play i have seen is at ipoker. its just horrendous.
now, i am not complaining, as all my accts at the sites mentioned are through no deposit bonuses. but it is incredibly boring to play on ipoker becuz of this. and it is only made worse that the software sucks s**t too.

That's a very interesting point, that could be the reason why players at low stakes trying to play solid poker lose more than they should. I-poker is the only site where I rarely win even if I play the solid poker I play at FTP and PS but which seem to work pretty well at those two

Bad beat happens everywhere. Best way to deal with it is having a bigger stack than your opponent. So, i don't think that ipoker network is rigged, but like everywhere else, you'll find some strange action to happen.
