  4. Handling Non-Believers

    Inevitably, you will run into people who do not believe that internet poker is

    rigged. They're just wrong, typically because they are uninformed. People do all kinds

    of dumb things because of incomplete information. Think about it.

    The pool of ignoramuses is divided into two groups -- those who can be lead to

    the truth, and those whose mind cannot be changed by anything short of a bolt of

    lightning from the blue. The key thing to do, and this will help you in all aspects of life,

    is to determine which of these groups anyone who disagrees with you is in. Anyone in

    the latter group should just be ignored. You're probably not a deity with control over the

    elements, so don't knock yourself out trying to conjure up a thunderstorm.

    As for the former group, reason with them. Give them information. Help them

    change their mind. Feel free to pass them a copy of this e-book, at least as long as

    you're not sitting at the same poker table. You don't want them beating you with your

    strategy, do you?

  5. ONE

    Who Dun It? The Rigging of Internet Poker

    Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will

    trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked.

    -- Niccolo Machiavelli

    Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.

    -- Niccolo Machiavelli

    There you are. Innocently playing a game of online no limit hold'em. You're

    dealt what you believe to be a monster hand. You have two aces (denoted here as AA)!

    What do you do? Why, raise, of course! That's what you're supposed to do, according

    to the book. Some poor sucker calls you! And another! Wow! This is your chance to

    triple the size of your stack!

    Here's the flop. AK2 of different suits. Sweet! Bet it out!

    Even better, both players come along for the ride.

    Turn is a 2. Awesome! Top full house! You bet and some poor sucker raises!

    And the other joker comes along once again. It doesn't get any better than this.

    You smooth call, planning to break both remaining players on the river.

    The river is another King. Okay. Nut full house. Heaven help those villains if

    they have an ace, a king or a deuce. You bet, they raise, everybody gets all in.

    And you have the worst hand of the three as your opponents show KK and 22.

    You rebuy and scream in frustration.

    Should you be angry when this happens? Hell yes. The odds against one

    opponent having a better hand than you in this situation are large. The odds of two

    people having better hands are astronomical. The possibility of having two players stay

    in and both improve to quads is incredibly slim.

    And yet it happens all the time in internet poker. Why? Because it's rigged.

    Think about your own play. Haven't you seen more bizarre suckouts online than

    you have in a lifetime of home games and casino play? Where else have you seen

    people betting confidently with no pair and no draw only to go runner-runner to beat

    your solid flopped hand?

    Our analysis of dozens of hands clearly proves that this type of action happens

    online far more often than it should. That's right, proof that internet poker is rigged.

    The
  6. Yes...because this only happens online. You never see set over set in a live game.

    Oh wait...anyone see Hansen vs Negreanu quads vs quads in HSP. Maybe that was rigged too.
  7. That was one hand out of the 4 years the show has been on. Irrevalant. Cannot compare to constant on-line. Nice try
  8. ooppssss WSOP rigged quad aces lost to str flush.

    CHrist no one is safe anymore

    Constant? Guess it depends on who ya talk to...haha
    Constant...nice try
  10. Yo guys the Bad Beat jackpots at the local Casino get up to anywhere from 60K to 165K and are rarely won. Proof is how high they build up. If it was on line with only the same amont of tables at the casino to make it even. On-line the jackpot would hit probably every hour. LOL LMAO You guys are clueless, one day when you find out, the fall is going to land real hard for you.

    That is the statement of the year! HAHAHAHA
    I needed that laugh!
  12. While I'm sure everyone will say yeah alot more hands dealt online, it is BS. Especially PHUCKUSTARS.

    Unreal amount of setup hands, small stacked 80%-90% dominators getting knocked off 80% against monster stacks to whittle down the tourneys and have you join more.....

    I WALKED TODAY FROM stars. FUCK THAT SITE.
  13. I see not everyone has blindfolds Good Post. And very good insight.
