Re(1): sooooooooo fuckin rigged
Dont believe it ... its probably rigged..... there is tremendous incentive for them to pimp cards (i.e. rig) and there is practically no downside. Besides, certain other gaming sites (backgammon) have been spotted statistically with non-random dice presentations to tables, and, with plenty to gain and nothing to lose, rigging is not nearly as crazy an explanation as some would have you believe.

Re(1): Why does this get rewarded?!!!
IT GETS REWARDED CUZ THE CARDS ARE RIGGED TO GIVE THAT CALLER A BETTER CHANCE THEN THEY WOULD HAVE ORDINARILY, SO THEY WILL STAY ALIVE LONGER AND THE SITE CAN EITHER RAKE MORE FROM THEM OR GET MORE ENTRY FEES BEFORE YOU GET ALL THEIR MONEY... ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT

Re(3): poor unlucky Tater
Yeah.. very good posts adam and drew and shep ... look, I play poker for PEANUTS and I play it for fun. And I do alot of reading, and studying, yada yada. If you think this is gambling, you don't know what gambling is, cuz what I do for my "living" (if you wanna call it that), is I speculate with HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OTHER PEOPLES' MONEY EVERY G-D DAY. And if you think it's tuff taking a "bad beat" with your poker money, think of how hard it is to sleep at night when you lost 20 million of OTHER PEOPLES MONEY that day! I don't need a lesson in gambling up there, thanks! No ...

poor unlucky Tater
I dont wanna hear how unlucky Tater is..... compared to what I've been through, Tater may as well have won every event on the WPT and the WSOP last year without losing a single hand... Don't talk to me about having the best hand until you flop quads and lose.... not once, BUT TWICE in a row Don't talk to be about not winning coinflips until you've lost AT LEAST 50 OF THEM IN A ROW... then I'll start to get MILDLY interested in seeing if you can approach my record. And let's not whine about how your Aces got cracked.... I'll tell ya what.... mark down the next time you play AA for more than ...

Re(1): What would you do here???
I don't know how this guy had been playing previously .... if he had a PP, he probably would have pushed it with that stack hoping to either steal or take a coin flip to double up.... so I wouldn't put him on that... my guess is a flush draw... I think you are probably ahead here.. but its probably still coin flippish.. say he had a QTc.. something that he could have called with ... he would actually be slightly ahead of you hear.. you would be slightly ahead if he had an Ace or a King of clubs with another club. Some people would pull the trigger to take him out... some wouldn't.. alot of ...

customer service
there's a sad truth here.... why should they go out of their way to provide customer service' they don't have to. This whole online poker thing is a monopoly that plays to our emotions and addictions... so what if they take your money'' You have no recourse.. you can't sue .. you can't find them.. YOU CAN'T DO NUTHIN ... so the score is: THEM 1 YOU 0. And, you really can't leave cuz there's no alternative for all the compulsive gamblers... alternative to the online poker sites, that is. So, basically.. TAKE IT, OR LEAVE IT.

Re(1): Losing Confidence fast in UB
GOOD LUCK!! And, isn't it comforting to know that if you have a problem with UB, or ANY of these sites, that you can always report your problem to the following addresses who can follow through: nobody@ tuffnuggies@ Of course, you can always enforce your legal rights and sue them.. perhaps you can contact the law firm of You'reScrewed, TheyHaveYourMoney and ShoveIt, Attorneys at Non-Law

disguised rigged post
I hate to poop anyone's party here ... but... the software of these online poker sites have various flaws and holes in them, many of which have been discussed in connection with multiple accounts, player cheating, rebuy stuff, etc etc. A few years back, I did a 4-month statistical study of a then-popular backgammon site which proved.. sorry.. bad word... suggested in a statistically significant way ... that the dice being presented to individual tables were neither random, nor pseudo random ... and that there was in fact conditional probablity.... this was despite all the dice statistics ...

Tater ...

I am officially 0 for my last 325 coin flips! And, your course is not only helping me in my online play, but I am using your techniques in live tourneys as well... darned if the oppty. to use your system didn't pop up at the wsop circuit event Atlantic City where I had 44, flopped a set when the flop came A 10 4 rainbow, my fish opponent pushed all in with his top 2 pair A T ... ...

an interesting cheating rumor
speaking of cheating .. and this is from the rumor mill that I heard so, if anyone can verify it, fine.. otherwise, take it like all other things you hear... this is what I heard . I heard that after Chris Moneymaker won the wsop in 2004, he was playing in a high stakes private game and they brought in marked cards and I heard that he lost most, if not all, of what he made at wsop..... again, this is ONLY WHAT I heard... and it wasnt online.. it was live

excellent post PUERTOKID
Good stuff here Kid.. well thought out... Ill put my 2 cents (literally) in, but first a question on something you said ... How in the world could they tell whether you and me are chatting via IM while playing' What if we are on the phone together --- what can they do to stop that' NOTHING. I like the ideas of public notification... they do this with prositution in some areas.... I come from the old school where I saw people get their hands smashed for cheating. That stops people. Bottom line is, as was pointed out... it goes on in live poker rooms. The sad fact of life is .. (and this has ...

Re(1): Can you guys comment on this - any UB ppl
Yeah, there are certain oddities which simply cannot be explained away by the fact that there are many tables being delt ... for example, you cannot have KK on 7 occassions and on those 7 consecutive occassions, have someone else dealt AA .... I actually saw that ... which is a-priore evidence of malfunction, given the odds of that occurring once are less than 1 in 100, the chances of it occurring 7 times in succession are, well .... non existent.. and it doesnt matter if they are dealing to one table, or the entire planet

Re(1): Any logic to this? Sickening
You might also look at your "table persona" at this juncture, for if the other person has a reason to put YOU on a draw instead of on the real hand, they might look you up to the river particularly with straight and flush draws themselves

Re(1): I am the worst cash game player
I dont think you could have done anything different pre-river... don't know the other player, but you might not have been able to bet him/her off the pot once the 4 hit .. if so, result might have been the same, except your self-perspective of the hand might have changed.

Diff. Online Sites - Pros and Cons
Id be interested in hearing other peoples opinions as to what sites they like, don't like, features and the like. Personally, I play UB and Pokerstars drives me friggin NUTS. The main reason I like UB IS cuz I like the interface, although there are couple of things that bother me. One is the limit to a chat line so you cannot finish a sentence. The other is the difficulty in importing hands into Pokertracker. You can do it, but its convoluted and I don't like that silly program you have to run as it slows things up. I like the ULTIMATE BUDDY .. nice for keeping track of people. WHY ...
