i play online poker over 5 years now! me and 10 others pokerplayers friends made a study based in the folowing poker sites: pokerstars;t6poker(closed);roxiopoker(closed);bestpoker;partypoker;gearpoker;sportsbook;carbon poker;paradise poker;celeb poker;holywood poker;mansion poker;cake poker;pokerworld;doyles room;purplelounge poker;gnuf poker;pokertime;;titan poker;everest poker;cd poker;pacific poker;poker 770;ultimate poker;ladbrokes poker;paddy power pokerand poker loco. the study was made in 24 online poker rooms!!!! The conclusion was the same in all of them:RIGGED!!.despite all the marketing that those pokerrooms made with "employees"poker players sayng that win "lots of money"to atracct more depositing players the reality is very different. maybe we´re wrong with our conclusion.this "alert"is for you onlinepoker players to look at yourself and base your conclusions in yourselfs(bad luck hands!!)and not in "avulse" testimonials. we are sure that ALL OF YOU that play for some time ALL OF YOU lost money in online poker(dispite you are a good or bad poker player).what are your oppinion?

JUST A SMALL TIP:notice when you register for the first time in a online poker room how easy is to win a "small" amount of money and how is almost impossible to grow your bankroll. looks like a wall that you can "break"!

I say prove your case. Show us. I have been playing for a few years now and overall I am way up from what I have deposited. Yes there are a few sites I have tried and do not play on, not because I "think" they are rigged, but simply becasue I think they stink.
You have 3 posts here buddy, if you want us to "pay attention" then prove it as most of us here make money. I know I do.
sometimes i think too thats online poker is rigged! but pokerstars make so many money with rake and promotion...they nn to fake the players...in my opinion its the variance of lose and win...maybe all your friends big donks? i dont know...but so many people reach a nice bankroll with an good bankrollmanagment.....-so you need a lot of time...if you get tilt make a physical fight with your friends....take fun and you lose your agrresion ^^^hheheh
Why respond if you played all sites and couldnt win on 1 Be a man or woman and quit poker because you certainly don't belong here! But still we winning pokerplayers live on your losses read my reply in" what is your experience with pokerstars!"
------------ And if you play for 5 years poker and still lose than your study is probably based on an IQ of less than 80

can you just give us some evidence and inform us how much money you and your friends has lost in this 5 years ... it's easy to tell that online poker is rigged but to prove ... that's a different story ! if for example the lost was a total of 50 $ a head in 5 years than your study is a real joke , anyway it would not be a bad idea to know how much players are losing online and how much that have some profit .

hm, did you ever think about where the money that we (meaning the winningplayers) win comes from? it is not money from the pokersites that just like us more than you, its from guys like you that just play worse than us

Easy, if you have a good and credible stuff, publish it. If you have a credible stuff with at least 5.000.000 hands and a reasonable sample of players, you and your friends are to few, go for it. A credible stuff proving it will be a big scandal, and will make the surviving room to fix their rigs and start to be honest.
If your right please help us getting fair games, break the rooms/networks. But if you are another one, well... You are probably another one.

yay! missed the rigged threads
i doubt he has evidence. ive read exact the same in 3 other forums half a year ago. they all pretend to be mathe students/professors but never came up with proove/results about their study or any facts that its rigged. not even a single videotape. what kind of study is that...? i dare to say you have read an article about rigged onlinepoker in a union of losers forum and now you just post it here. if you was really doing a study about it, your post would be 30 times longer and not only 3 sentences with a mention that online poker is rigged.
that theres only 25% winning players (or less?) is no secret anyways. has nothing to do with being rigged anyways.

Actually i have built a bankroll a few times starting with low amounts of 5 to 10$. If you feel like your a big shot and start playing above your bankroll your bound to loose your money! Variance is a part of the game, online and live!
we are sure that ALL OF YOU that play for some time ALL OF YOU lost money in online poker(dispite you are a good or bad poker player).
yeahhh.... guess what everyone lost money in poker sometimes, but then you win again... that's poker xD And "despite you are a good or a bad poker player" ... Didn't know if I understood that right but, what other possiblitys are there? And why should a bad poker player not loose his money? Intressting theory xD
Maybe you should have tried some no deposit bonusses! I played also multiple sites and I have had my share of bad beats 2 and in 1 room you get more beats than in another(maybe bad table selection,bad mindset,concentration) You are not a robot. But it also depends against what type of players you play against How often does the players at your table enter the pot, does your opponent makes a lot of misstakes is he passive/agressive That is all what poker is about let your opponents make misstakes but if your against solid players leave your table !look your opponents up if they are winning or losing players If you did everything 2 get that edge you will need in poker,you can play pre and postflop poker, can take advantage of situations, read board texture, guessing opponent hand ranges and than still lose on the long run OK Than your right

I think inernet poker is fair. Somethimes i just asked myself about cards that being dealt. High pocket pairs are very common. And im not "a pretending math student", i have math degree.
If you play only freerolls, you cant go broke (ok, thats joke).
