    I was dealt the 6 spades 11 times in the span of 80 hands recently on stars--and today in a $11- tournament was dealt the J diamonds 10 times in only 42 hands...

    I've played over 6 million hands of poker in well over 30 yrs--- mostly live.... NEVER EVER EVER EVER---have i seen statistical anomalies like i do in online poker playing live...Just does not happen... Obv their is a huge programming element to the deal(

    for the record i am a winning player on 9 diff sites.... just so very frustrating knowing the sites do not just randomly deal the cards.

    Funny odd story-- was playing 1/2 at the Majestic a few weeks back and some1 spiked a convo about online poker and to my surprise over 30 ppl in the high limit room inc/ dealers and only 1 guy came to the defense of online poker( every single person said they thought the game online was severely skewed and most thought it was 100% rigged....And, i think i was the oldest one in the room.

    Also, for the record i took b2b hand beats with quads back in 1988 in Vegas....went on to win over 2K playing 1/2 (same tbl) so flame me all u want cuz i have seen it all and then some...

    Obv rant post but, more than that, the Online Industry needs some serious honest regulatory measures and i think player volume would increase so dramatically it would shock most us...i know 2 players who have net worths well over 2 mil each who would play high stakes online if the U.S. government was calling all the shots...fwiw

    LOL a bunch of shitty live players think online poker is rigged because they keep busting their bankroll. I have never heard that before.

    I love people who think something is completely rigged based off of absolutely no mathematical data and figures, but simply on the fact that they try to play 1/2 and 2/4 online and get absolutely destroyed by the higher caliber players that play online then play live.

    Seriously think about this how would being dealt the 6 of spades 11 times in 80 hands rig the game? And why the hell would an online website rig an $11 tournament? How would they rig an $11 tournament?

    I would be more concerned if through 30 million hands that you never saw an anomaly like that to be honest.

    You come across as a complete idiot. I am sick of grumpy old men complaining that on-line poker is rigged. Thsot sites make millions a week, why would they care who wins anything?

    Also I do not believe for one second that you are paying that close of attention to how many times you got any one card within 80 hands.

    STFU and learn to play

    I dont play 1/2 or 2/4 online .... i would agree the cash players are way better online... which clearly is why i drive 2 1/2 hrs and play the live game there in Gary.
    Also, i never said i thought it was rigged that was the consensus of many playing that day--im saying the game is skewed and has many programmed elements and is not a 100% random deal.

    Go study how a RNG in a slot machine works then tell me how the 6 of spades being dealt that frequent is not a relevant issue.
