    after reading post after post of people complaining about bad beats that only happen online, I am wondering why people think this. My theory is because you can play more tables at a time and online is quiker play, therefore you see many more hands which will create morebad beats. I feel that you see teh same shit in live poker but because you see WAY mre hands while playing online, that makes people think that it is rigged.

    or maybe it is wtf do i know

    Without a doubt that is why. I deal poker and I see bad beats all the time. Also, getting sucked out on is more memorable than winning a race or having your AA actually hold up. When you increase the number of hands played/hour, you increase the number of bad beats (not the %).

    Yea, this is exactly why. I can easily recall the last three or four times my aces got cracked but I dont really remmeber the 10 times in between where they held up.

    I agree hoops. Also, because of of the internet (forums, chat rooms, etc.), it is very easy for millions of people from all over the world to post/discuss hand histories so the amount of bad beat/big hand stories are magnified which makes it seems like online poker is "rigged."

    No..you see more badbeats because more people play shitty Hands online..and suckout with those hands...It is hard for your average Joe to lay down a hand online..Plus I hacked the RNG..that simple

    I think playing lower B&M is much worse. I get people with q30 calling my max bet preflop. It's way worse.

    But,

    If you keep creating new accounts, don't move your mouse, and keep the tin-foil under your helmet un-kinked...you will win every tourney you join...PROVEN FACT.

    while youre on the topic, use the search feature on the site. I would guesstimate that there are at least 500 threads on bots/rigged play. Every month someone thinks that they have solved the poker enigma while regurgitating old common sense stuff......LMFAO.

    Now that we figured out why its rigged, what about these new bots?
