I worry more about player collusion then sites rigging the deck. Actually I don't worry about the sites rigging the deck at all. Juicy hands would be evenly distributed amongst all the players. That is unless you think the villain in the 10 cent big blind has an "in" with the company to get his extra share of the juicy hands.
This is a very good post, also the sentence about collusion is a great one because this is a serious problem going on at POKERSTARS right now. Their is a forum over their that I am in and I can say players have reported about 200 hand histories of players openly in chat colluding. After talking with those members and figuring what to look for I would caution when sitting at cash tables to be mindful of the players at your table. Stars is a lot bigger site than the Merge sites but don't think for a second their aren't players here doing the same thing.
