ONLINE POKER IS NOT RIGGED!!!

OK Folks I have come to the conclusion that Online Poker IS NOT RIGGED!

I think that everyone (including myself) at some point has had the idea in the back of their head that online poker is rigged or favors one player vs. another. Any notion that I may have had regarding the aforementioned has been smashed.

I haven't play a whole lot of live games but while we were in Vegas for 4 days we did nothing but play poker. All day and all night poker, poker and more poker. I saw so many bad beats, coolers, suck outs, donkeys, etc. Exactly the same as online. Have you ever notice that when you decide to go all in with KK it seems like quite a few times that someone else has AA? Well I saw that 4 times. As a matter of fact the only time I went all in pre-flop was on day 3, I sat at a $1-$2 No Limit Cash Table and my 3rd hand was AA. I raise it up to $10 this guy re-raises to $30, I re-raise to $50, he goes all in and I call. AA vs. KK and I spike an A on the turn to seal the deal.

I saw AA cracked so many times it wasn't even funny, I cracked them twice myself, once by hitting a full house and another by hitting a set of Ks. And Big Slick is just as overrated live as it is online...I STILL HATE IT! As many times as I saw it played it only held up a few times.

I flopped the A high nut straight, this guy pushed all in and of course I have to call. He shows a set of Js and turns a K for a full house.

Tourney: Blinds 200-400, UTG limped in (he has just a few more chips than me), everyone else folds, I have A 5 off from just right of the button, I limp in, the button folds, SB calls, BB checks. The Flop, A, 4, 5 ( I hit top 2). SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, I bet 400, SB fold, BB folds, UTG calls. The turn brings a 6, UTG checks, I bet 800, UTG calls. He really has me thinking now. The River brings a 3. UTG Checks I fire another 800, UTG re-raises putting me all in for my last 1000, if feel committed so I call and he shows 9 2 suited. WTG 9 2 suited from under the gun and he stayed in there with me firing away hoping for a 3 and he hits it on the river...WTF? His wife was sitting right next to him and she even gave him a disgusted look.

Cash Table: I'm not in this hand.... Player A holds 88, flop comes 8, 6, 6. WHAT A FLOP! Player A and Player B go back and forth through the flop turn and river. The river is a 9 and both player end up all in. Player B shows pocket 9s. Player A flops a full house and player B coolers him with a bigger full house.

Cash Table: I have A 8 suited, the flop comes A, A, 10 I fire away and get one caller. The turn comes 6. I fire again and he calls. The river comes an 8 I fire again and he goes all in. I call and he shows pocket 5s....LMFAO

There are so many more examples of these bad beats, coolers, donks, etc that I saw in 4 short days. I could go on for hours with the hands and plays that I saw. I am now a true believer in the Random Number Generators used by the Online Poker Sites. They are just as random as a live dealer.
