We all know that pokersites "help out" from time to time.

But, what/which network is most rigged"? I cast my vote on Microgaming. Theire "largeststackfix" never fails. U???

[A_Avogodro]

rigged? are they really? I can tell there is big stack fix going on....do people adjust their play for it?

they are pretty much all the same. still love the people that try to defend them as like live poker.

I have been the big stack on many occasions and have had the cards go completely dead.for example i was in a tourney on UB once & at the 2 hour break i had 213,000 chips,2nd place was at 100,000... for 2 hours i hit everything i drew to.......then for the next 3 1/2 hours i won exactly 5 hands and folded garbage twice that would have turned into the winning hand. one hand was a 5 3 off & i would have made a 6 hi str8 the other i believe was 8 3 off & i would have flopped a boat !! even with a monster bully stack i didn't have enough to make a run at a pot on a semi bluff !!!ended up finishing 8th & the hand i went out on i had my opponent dominated with AK vs AQ so for all of you that claim online poker is rigged & the big stack is always favored i ask why didn't i win that one or the many others where i have had a monster chip lead early??

no it aint like live poker 'cause you can't look your opponent in the eye & maybe get a read on him cause he's got a tell & people online know that & will take advantage of it.& a lot of them most likely wouldn't be able to play live effectively. i know that most old timers will tell you "play the player" but on line i think it's much safer to MOSTLY play the cards, i say mostly cause you CAN get away with a bluff now & then in the right spot.....but not very ******* often!!!!! on line especially freerolls & small buy in tourneys clowns will chase a 2 card out & sometimes they'll hit it.in a live game that guy might as well paint a bullseye on his chest cause he's a marked man after chasin a 2 outer to the river, but online they balance the tables so often that the guy is gone in 5 minutes & the players at the new table have no idea what a fish he is. untill we all have live webcams and we are more or less face to face like Doyle Brunson talks about in super system II it aint ever gonna be the same & even then it still won't be "live poker" but it'll be closer

I had my big stack raped before. I had 20K going into 1st break (2nd being 13K)... and I was completely dead for the rest of the rest, however with position, I was able to maintain my 20K throughout until the BB was 6K (then I was screwed)

lmao gotta love the "zomg online poker is rigged" posts. if you keep losing, stop blaming the software. you just suck at poker.

o yes there is definatly the big stack favoring going on
the worst sites for that are full tilt and the microgaming network
also i find on full tilt most of the time the person with the worst hand going in usually wins
anyone else notice that?

First, it seems the big stack always wins because when you bust you notice this. Yet if the big stack loses a hand nobody really pays attention.

Second, if worst hand usually wins play them more, you can sit at a cash table with me too. Bad hands do win sometimes.. but so do good hands.

always remember this guys
YOU'RE NOT PARANOID IF THEY REALLY ARE OUT TO GET YOU !!!
