is it rigged?

[Deman]

Well would be ridiculous if it was rigged, ftp is so populair there should be some maths geek who has calculated everything figuring out if it could be rigged or not. However, I do see the most weird hands ever on ftp. But it's all because you play way more hands in online poker than in offline poker.

It is just an excuse everyone uses online when that does happen to them. People tend to play more loose online than they would in real life, meaning that there are more chances for those bad beats on the river.

I don't think the sites are rigged. I haven't played on Full Tilt, I've only played on UB. More than thinking the site is rigged, I think the other way - that some players are cheating. It's as we have all experienced, my AA loses to 10 2 or 9 3 off suit on the river. What are they thinking, betting big with such lousy hands??? And when they are betting big or all-in, they MAY have 1 pair of 2's or 3's....(?) It's as if they were confident that the 10 or 9 was going to flop on the river(?) - it's baffling.

i do not think they are rigged if you think about it playing online poker you play prolly 7 times faster then you would if you was playing a live game so it would make it seem like alot of bad beats but i dunno

I get more suk outs at Poker stars than any of them. But all the sites still have bad beats.

I think it's rigged too. I had money there 4 times, always just a few dollars, which I got from either playing some freerolls, or by getting it from some friends. At the first day I doubled my money, and at the next two days I lost all of it, each 4 times.:P Since then I play on PokerStars, where with the same strategy, I am going up the ladder

A good online friend of mine that I've played lots of poker with on fulltilt, sent me a message one day saying that I shouldn't play at fulltilt anymore becase he saw (5) 6's in play at the showdown of a hand he was in. I asked him if he took a screenshot and he said he didn't have time, but without seeing this with my own eyes, I just don't believe it. I honestly think the online poker sites make plenty of money being 100% fair without having to use dishonesty as a means to get rich. I mean really...don't you all agree?

this is poker

I think that its not "rigged" but maybe set to deal out more high % hands that in a normal live game you wouldn't necessarily see.

No poker is not rigged , but i see why people would think so. say you play 100hands and lose one with 95% chance of winning and u lose ..well chances are it will happen 5% odds are low but someone can win with these odds
