I'm cracking up. Someone help me.

There's a huge article on this in April's PokerPlayer magazine.

In summary - why would any poker site risk it's whole (hugely profitable highly successful) business on software that is fixed or picks out individuals and follows them around giving them bad beats all the time.

That's entirely correct. It is far too easy for poker rooms to make money by being fair for any of them to jeopadise it by going to the bother of tweaking things for or against certain players whilst not tweaking it too much so that it is obvious.

Hi guys,

Just back from the hospital. They patched me up, bandaged the wrists and i'm feeling a bit better now. Thats probably the drugs though.

Took all your comments on board but how about this. The computer is programmed in a way that no matter how good or bad a player is, he/she will have some kind of success at the tables. It would be the only way sites could keep the bad players playing. And of course, its the better players(blondes of course) that are suffering like we all do everyday with suckouts. Is it more acceptable to take a bad beat in a live game.

No, that's just the nature of the game.

Precisely - many people seem to think that the probablity of AA winning should be 100%...

I tend to think along the lines that many sites that use RNG software are aware of glitches in the software that make the chances of flushes and straight all the more probable.

We could argue this till the cows come home but it doesn't make much difference wether we think he may be being cheated or not we still continue to play on the net hence why many of the big companies are still making profit.

To answer another question, I personally find it more acceptable to suffer a bad beat in a live game.  Simply because I can se everything that is happening in front of me.

when anyone plays the its rigged card..
I always ask what they re current roi % is.

Usually get the reply whats roi?

Btw i am a metaphyisical geek, and there is no such thing as random full stop.

anyone prove that wrong lol

I can prove you don't have a speel cheeker

I think we all understand what he was saying. No need to run anyone off, lets not go down this road again please.

Unlucky with those hands you ran into, But bad beats will happen, it’s a fact. X that with playing 10 tables at a time and you will see them more often than those of us playing one table.

Keep your chin up

It's straights and flushs are more probable then the simple solution would be to play more hands that can make a straight or a flush and draw to them more often.

Rigged so aces always get cracked? Just throw them away preflop...

sorry guys i dont think i explained enough first of all im not saying  that the poker sites are manipulating things to there advantage after all they get a rake right so they earn annyway.
2nd of all when i said computers cannot genarate random no's ie cards i ment it no amount of programing is going to solve that one ie adding to the program a player waiting 10 seconds as somebody mentions earlyer its just not possible(i dont see the matrix happening just yet computers are not human)god its a program !! i beleive like i said before and the easyest way to explain it was to( compare) it to a fruit machine program in the way the software program works (but designed to evenly spred winnings over a period of time)
ie u put 50 in get nothing out come back 2 weeks later and put 50 in u get 100 out (all in all its a ballance over time, what that time frame is well i dont know( but if u play a fruit machine badly u will lose all the time )

It's true that a computer itself cannot create true random numbers but that doesn't mean you can't supply the computer with random numbers. One method of doing this would be to measure response times or another source - radioactive decay, atmospheric noise etc.

[matt674]

so basically the online game fixed so that in the long run it rewards the good players and punishes the bad players...............

nothing like a live game then......

[chaosicq]

well yes you are right but i suppose it serves its purpose to good affect but it does have flaws ie a typical example someone has been losing for ages u have say 


                                               and they have say   
   flop comes  turn card       and lets say u r all in and the river comes   
   i only give this as an example that the other player has 1 out and makes it and i think he makes as the software is trying to even itself out because hes been losing for so long id like to no what the most hands anny one has ever one sucsession or in an hour say it would be nice to get an average .also has annyone been getting nothing atall but one sevral hands through skill then got the good hands afterword and lost?

I wonder if they would employ me, I can make an atmospheric noise that smells like radioactive decay
