I mean with the super intelligent shuffle machines they use and how honest casinos are as long as my opponent looks like an honest man. Nothing wrong here as long as I've won a Lil before....


Now that's a good mark

but why? For example: why would they pick me over you... or vice versa?
And how (& why) would this be done 'on the fly'? Is there a 'rigging team' who are on standby, waiting to change the deal? Or is it somehow preprogrammed for player A who has only deposited <$100/year to lose on a preflop All-in as an 80/20 favorite once they are just barely ITM (bubble has just popped). Or do they tag players who are big depositors, to perhaps win a big score in 1 tourney but then somehow the deal gets adjusted so that they lose it all and then deposit again?

How do they decide? Who gets to be the winners? (does anyone get to be a winner?)
Example.

If my friend works there. Then he just let's me In and we'll split it

All day yesterday I was on a serious downswing, nearly every hand I played lost,the hands that counted anyway. I was even delt AA in the big blind and UTG +1 min raised, everyone folded I reraised, he snap went all in., I called, he turned over 54o and hit a straight on the river... F all to do with skill lol.. even if I called his original raise the end result would of been the same because nothing scary was on the flop....anyone who thinks different you're a muppit.

Anyway, today is a different story, won all my losses back plus more and overall up on my buy ins. THE ONLY reason someone would think the sites are rigged is if you play on tilt when on a downswing, it turns you're downswing into a MAJOR downswing. The secret is to play EXACTLY the same if your winning or losing no matter what. Take today, I was all in with Ax suided (can't remember exactly) and 3 others went all in, I hit the ace high flush on the turn and one other donkey player with 47s needed a 6 for a straight flush.. and he got it! I kept my cool, came 4th outside the money but very next game I made 2nd place, which I doubt would of happened if I was steaming from the game before.

It's not rigged! Shit happens... then good happens. Keep it cool and you'll make money.
I'm not convinced one way or the other, although I am an optimist, so I would play with the assumption that the site is legit. The variance in poker is so random that rigged or not, the ups and downs will continue.

Because you're lucky or haven't played enough to realise it when you'll get chops and bad beats with best hands get out last on final table always when you reach it with bad beats or setup hands

I want to take a stand here: gg poker isnt right. The people defending this site are mostly free roll players and influencers.


They got officially caught having AT LEAST one superuser(we all know it was way more) and they got caught rigging their wheel?

The only accusation that hasn't been proven yet is the rigging of the board post flop, because thats impossible to do if done right. Everything else is just facts.

Hi everybody, :)

Personally, I tend to believe there's a real difference in the way the cards are dealt between real life and the internet. I don't trust the various computer programs.
Does that mean it's manipulation? I don't know... but I don't trust those computers...
I just prefer to play freerolls and the money I win from them.
If I win a good amount, I withdraw it immediately.
That way, I never lose my own hard-earned money.
Have a good day. :coffee:

Poker rooms don't need to rig anything. Does not mean it isn't rigged by some other entity.

Poker is a game of variance that has moments of loss and in those moments we cannot think that they are manipulating the game; there are days of gains and days of losses.

That’s a real subject many peoples will take a bad beat against a fish with a marginal hand for example they squeeze 12bb against fish with AA board is 9Q5 the fish donk shove the dlop they call fish turn over KTo and board goes 9Q57J they hit their straight and the guy will be so mad at the fish like « why is he calling my fcking squeeze and donkshove this flop with KTo and then the player will be mad and will fastplay like crazy all his hands against fishs as some sort of revenge like they will iso shove vs the fish bvb 50d with AKS instead of iso size or they will snapshove low boards with overpairs etc like they will play too fast because they are angry against all fish and want to stack them and it will just scare the fish away instead of keep playing their a game and squeezing 12x for example they will squeeze shove directly they will cb 200% withh AA ON A72 in tilt to try to milk the fish but it won’t work cause fish aren’t that dumb and will run if you fastplay too much when they have nothing and make it too obvious that you are nutted
