not to sound rude, but i have never heard a good, solid, winning poker player complain about a site being rigged. it is always the horrible players that get lucky and then think that their luck will continue indefinitely.

when you do a quick calculation about how much rake these sites pull in per day, it is ridiculous to think they would rig the cards. adding to that, 888 poker is a very small part of 888 as a whole, which includes casino and sports betting, all of which are regulated in the uk, so for them to risk losing their whole business on rigging cards to produce a slight increase in rake for a small part of their business would be the stupidest thing ever. well second stupidest thing ever, behind thinking online poker is rigged.

I am sorry but have to agree. I do not see anyone claiming it is rigged when they hit their one outer on the river or their pocket 2s hit a one card flush against pocket aces. It is variance and if you continue to play your cards in the most + ev way you will end up a winner in the long run which is what you have to focus on not the bad beats.

I actually reckon my local 888pl venues are more rigged than online the way I run there.:lol:

I'm a winning cash game player [online & live] and accepting variance is a must, if you want to be a winning player.

When I play, my goal is to make the correct decision in any given situation.

I may make the correct decision and still lose the hand, but in the long-run, enough correct decisions will make you a profit.

If there was no variance, there wouldn't be any fish playing poker, so variance is GOOD!!!

In saying all that, yes I do get pissed off at times when you trap someone and they go runner runner to beat you but I let it go pretty quick these days cause I know I will be a winner in the long-run.

We all feel this way sometimes lol I think we just need to vent so we come onto the forums to do it. We all know it isn't rigged deep down when we make these posts but we must get it off our chests.

I agree with Jav, the live venue software is totally rigged.

Just last Tuesday night on the final table, I had AA cracked twice (Qs5s flopping a set of 5's & K7off hitting running K's). I also shove from button with Ac10c to be called by A4off and A9off only to have the 9 hit river.

Yeah it's bloody rigged.... then again it was Russ dealing :roll:

Personally I think TD's rigg everything.....

Quote Grant "I can see a set coming here" I have JJ v's 1010... only 1 person needs the set.. and you guessed it on the window... or Moose - AA v's 89s(utg shove) "ooohh 89s is my favorite hand" Flop 10 2 K, Turn 8 River 9....

I've still got a badge banning Dakota from dealing... pity that protest never worked
