I’ve noticed I always run good the first day after depositing if its been a while since I deposited. Or if it’s a new site. They always do that. They can afford you to win a few thousand every now and then. But it’s always the next days after that I can never win. Every single time without fail. I can always just tell when I am gonna start losing. And like the only way I am able to win a pot is by some ridiculous bullshit. Like I will lose all my straight forward large pots. And then after I lose they let me win some ridiculous back door hand or some dogshit. I don’t just lose some cooler hands and think it’s rigged. I notice the same patterns of winning and losing. And it’s always the same. I’ve experienced it so many times over the years.

@@TimeHandler - but the nature of SNG'S is such that you are often put into a push/fold situation if you haven't accumulated many chips and your M is spiraling. sometimes you have to make pre flop shoves with marginal holdings, especially when the previous action or your position dictates so; and that then becomes even more important than your actual holdings. so in those situations, you are primarily looking to just pick up the blinds with folds and when you get lucky when someone does call, it may appear to be a -EV move on your part, when from an ICM standpoint, it may have been a perfectly fine line to take, especially when open shoving ranges become very wide as the blinds become large and your stack is dwindling. with antes in play, they become even wider.

I get variance, I get that bad beats happen. I also get that with online poker you are seeing more hands at an increased speed. But math is math, there’s no reason why I’m losing 80 to 90% of time constantly on the turn and river with premium hands when I’m a 4 to 1 favorite or I have somebody completely dominated. The number of hands per hour doesn’t change the math! That’s what people who defend this garbage don’t realize. The type of beats I’ve seen are just unbelievable. And it’s not like they happen every so often. They happen every other hand. I’ve lost so many hands where I was ahead, where I was playing solid, and I mean solid. And my opponent catches their miracle card on the river. Or I get beat by runners. I very rarely play online poker now a days and if I do I just buy in with ten bucks and that’s it. My poker sessions are done at my local casino now.

. in multi way pots this stuff happens live too. There is more people in the pot. What he is showing is a dumb hand hes just want to fool recreational players because this isn't a spot that explains how online poker is rigged. this is a typical multi way pot where you will run into big hands and lose and lose a lot. To show it rigged is hu situations playing against the sme regs day after day losing to them day after day way ahead losing to runner runner, 2 outters 3, outts and it doesn't just go for a month but it goes on for a year playinng many hands against these players and looking through the hand history and doing the math to see if this is possible what they are doing. and when you are behind against them they hardly if ever get bad beat. Then you ask other players if they ever win pots against them? And they say hardly. Then you know this is a house player or a russian thats hacked the rng after years of seeiing non stop bad variance for u and non stop good variance for them where its not variance anymore. Thats how you find a scam in online poker. Not a multi way pot. Its his way of trying to just fool recreational players about 1 hand that is obvious cooler spot. We don't anything about player he is up against. His win rate or anything. We need that info to konw if hes house player or not and it takes massive amount of hands to figure that out. Once you know mark them as house player get off tables they are on. And fold pre even with premiums if they are on your table. You will not beat them. Math don't lie ( it says they win over 75% of hands)= cheating. thats whast important to actually play on poker sites you can collect a hand history so you can find out who the cheaters are. Sites that don't show a hand history= dont play.

Every free online game is rigged. And you don't prove or disprove it by focusing on bad beats. That's irrelevant. All you do is track every flop. And then apply a chi-square test on the distributions after, say, 200 flops. You will find that every single online game that is free is rigged. Now don't be tricked by people who say, "no you can't tell after 200 flops; you need millions of flops!". Anyone who tells you that does not know statistics. Let me ask a simple question: would you need 1,000 more flips of a coin to determine if it was crooked if on the first 20 flips it landed heads up? No you wouldn't. And I can guarantee you a chi-square test would not need to see any more flips. You don't care about all the different permutations when you are trying to determine if something is rigged. You care about the outcomes. That is if 1:6 flops should produce a pair on the flop, 200 flops should produce somewhere around 33 instances where a pair comes up. If you are significantly above or below that number, you should suspect that the deal is rigged. I have done that kind of analysis on a lot of free online poker sites, and guess what every single one of them flop pairs about two times more than statistically probable. Every single one I have ever tracked. The same holds true for flopping three cards same suit--that happens about two times more than statistically probable on every single site I have tracked. Do you get beat by flushes a lot? Well there's a reason for that. Every site I have tracked has five card boards that produce three or more cards of the same suit about twice as often as statistically probable. So don't let anyone tell you that free online poker is not rigged. Be aware that if you ever decide to play real poker with real cards for real money, that the incidence of those big hands is going to be much less frequent than on these online sites. So why are these free online poker sites rigged? Well that's just good business. Rigging the deals levels the playing field. When pears come up on the flop that really levels the playing field against good players. Same with when three cards of the same suit come up on the flop. These sites aren't providing you free games for nothing. They hope you experience the thrill of winning if you're a novice, until you get hooked on the game. If the playing field weren't leveled you wouldn't survive long enough against good players to get hooked on the game. So these sites cannot have novices losing all their money instantly. That's bad business. There will be no one to buy chips with real money, because the novices are going to get bankrupted so quickly they're not going to grow an attachment to the game and the real good players will never need to buy chips. I can't say with certainty that there is anything more nefarious intergame going on, but I am sure that there probably is. For example, if I owned one of these sites I would also want to be able to tilt players. And I would do that by having algorithms that would target players with bad beats enough so that they tilted and lost huge amounts of chips in the hopes that they will purchase huge amounts of chips--because it's not fun playing for 20,000 stakes when you used to have a billion. I would bet that these sites have much more sophisticated variants of this exact strategy than I'm positing here.

Best hand playing accompanied by hole-card sharing imagine we're in a team of 4 players, 1 holds 82o in UTG, 1 holds A8o in HJ, 1 holds KJs in CO, 1 holds 89s in BU. now there are clearly 3 bad hands here, and they block eachothers outs, so it's clearly better for these hands to fold, than it would normally be, the KNOWN EV of a fold is the same as always, 0, however our alternatives just got worse, meaning the EV gain of folding these hands (A8o we should normally rfi, 89s should call KJs' open in a tournament for example) however with the extra information, we can now fold. Where-as others cannot seize this advantage. Over the long run, yes, the games will FEEL pretty rigged. These teams white-list certain individuals in their games to avoid detection, granting that white-listed player a winning graph... If you have a massively positive graph, chances are you will be white-listed by the team, as they will expect you to smell a rat more often. By this token, once a player is white-listed if they stay in that game, they quite often can amass a decent graph and then go on to crush the next stake, due to also being white-listed there, due to having been white-listed in the previous game mode... However if you are a losing player, i wouldn't wait around to get white-listed. I got white-listed in a game mode, and made over 400 buy-ins. However, i then cashed out after having some life stuff come up, a month or two redeposited, having spent much of the roll that i'd amassed, was planning to grind it up from lower stakes than i was playing previously.... After all, i was absolutely crushing 2 stakes higher, for several months putting in decent volume. HOWEVER..... The games were (i am as certain as i can be without knowing their actual hole-cards in every spot) filled with colluders, convenient folds to my direct opponents on bubbles where it just didn't matter to the big-stack whether or not the bubble continues as everyone is 1-2BBs deep.... Repeated over months of volume (roughly 100 sngs per day for several months - i was really grinding)..... Pokerstars seem to think that more sophisticated collusion simply does not occur. They seem to think that groups of individuals cannot find loop-holes in their defences... Lets imagine these 6 extra blockers throughout the entire game give you an extra 5% roi Suddenly a player who was making $25/hour if he studied like a maniac all year is making $50 an hour with virtually no effort... Personally, if i knew that i could just donate back $25 an hour to a few other players who are not involved through some "whale" account, and it would convince the site that i'm not colluding, i'd probably do that, if i were the kind to collude. (i'm not i can just see how ridiculously easy it would be, and yet everyone for some reason is talking about rigging, as if to deliberately mislead people from the real problem - rigging never happens really, collusion happens AT LEAST sometimes, yet the only detailed video i find, is doug polk talking about mike postle, playing live... great.) Pokerstars however, believe that if players are consistently refusing to take collusive opportunities, that this is somehow a dead-cert confirmation, that they are not cheating, enough to insultingly tell me that it is essentially all in my head. The problem will only grow, until we let pokerstars know that we are aware of it. All you players who are break-even/losing/barely-winning just know... You may well be decent winners, if all the colluders were gone... After all there are a lot of fish.... But if the colluders have a bigger edge vs them, and an edge vs you that even god players cannot achieve vs fish. You're simply done for... With the colluders there... The game is doomed and will die... Quickly. We're watching it happen in front of our eyes... It should be quite a stable economy; some making money then quitting and doing something less demanding or playing far less, others losing money then quitting, some losing money at a steady pace for recreation some breaking even and aspiring to eventually win, winning some off of the fish, losing to the better players.. site takes rake and brings in new players with some of that money via promotions + advertising government taxes everybody one way or another. However throw colluders into the equation, suddenly you now have 2 groups of winners, and this group of winners barely has to try, they simply arrange 1 day per week, that they will log into new accounts, that they got someone else to make and verify for them for a small fee (or simply stole/bought their details online), after making X amount of money... All funds are dumped onto a legitimate heads up account, who then pays the group accordingly via bitcoin or some other un-traceable method, after himself, taking a small fee for the process, somewhat accounting for all the variance in heads up, a sort of extra rake-back if you like, what's more, their graph now looks way better than it should, so much so they may be able to rope in some people for coaching, $500/hr thank you very much, very reasonable these days for a world class heads up player eh? Tell me i'm wrong. I'll just prove i'm right.

(I will never read a reply) That's how they do you in online poker. If you are nitty and avoid flips what they will do is have a housebot or hand a loose fish Aces or Kings on the small/big blind and give you QQ+ or a set. Board will runner runner a straight or they will simply have you dominated. All heads up. That's how they got their last 2 buyins from me. SB with 9's BB limped Kings and we both got a boat. Once you start recording all the coolers you receive. You will notice you are almost never on the delivering end. You will receive 10 coolers per each one you deliver, if that. The pattern goes like this: Fish or bot sucks out against you or loose player is magically given Aces vs you after playing any 2 cards for 3 hours. You lose your buyin. Then the fish will donate their stack to a house bot. Now they have both your deposits. Up to 100% increased profits depending. And then of course, drooling poker shills and fanboys will come in and say the hilarious "They have no reason to rig their sites". Well, they rig their sites because they can make literally 2-3x more profit and they have no oversight at all. If the poker tables online went like normal poker, the fish would burn out within days. They feed the fish just enough runner runners and gutshots and goofy hands to keep them addicted. They give extravagant bad beats to skilled players so the player won't logically scratch their head and finally realize "hey this is simply rigged", it's every single session and definitely not variance to get 2% rivered 15 times in a row.

They have collusion players, house players, people who hack old rngs that are out dated and not secure ( russians). You guys don't understand all the software involved. The key is avoiding these players by not playing pots with them. Going to other tables etc. Play in games they dont play in. And you can make money but that equitable distrubition software will make sure u don't make to much. Thats how online poker works. Anything else anyone says plays tiny stakes where they dont bother cheating or they haven't put in enough volume. I put in about 2m hands a year over the last 20 years. Your guys dumb theory on whether its winning or losing is stupid. Its based on many years of volume playing that the math is not adding up properly. you see all these guys who made millions years before all quit and become poker training coaches and make sites.

We live in a corrupt world, and site's programmers are smarter than most of us, so who's to say they don't fiddle with the algorithms? There's no cap on the amount they rake in pots, so they're incentivized to build them and that they do. And, then there's the old argument that you're seeing so many more hands, per hour, than you would in a casino hence you'll experience more bad beats, which is fair enough. But, if your a solid player you should also be winning more pots to compensate for those beats. And, the question is...are you? Bottom line: If you're playing on a site in which you start correctly predicting outcomes, it's time to bounce, or simply just play at the lowest stakes for fun. Trust your instincts. Patterns are patterns. And. People are effing greedy.

I deposited only $25 two months ago. It lasted until 5 minutes ago. I had $125 in my account Friday. Today is Sunday. Since Friday to today I’ve have pocket Aces 6 times and pocket Kings 4 times. Of those 10 hands, 8 were all folded to me. No one bet or called. I won the Blinds. Of the 2 hands were I had callers, my kings lost to pocket 2’s, while my aces just lost on the river while having 92% equity. The lay out and play of cards is most improbable. I was able to make $25 last for 2 months. It was an interesting investment. One in which I will NOT make again. I play live poker frequently and can honestly say Internet Poker is NOT a reliably honest card game. Negative Variance is an occurrence that’s happens to often. For instance, an ace, on overage (look it up) is to flop 22% of the time. Of my last 13 playable pocket pairs, not including aces, an ace flopped 11 times. That’s 84.65%. 4 times higher than mathematical projections. By ANY measurement that is ridiculously high. The site got my measly $25. IT WONT GET ANY MORE!

Just played a game where a nit type went all in on A high and hit his straight on the river. Couple hours before a nit went all in on the turn when I had a full house, river brings him a higher full house. These players don't play this way. All game long they fold easy and bet their pairs transparently and then all of sudden when I have strong hand, they bet it up and make their hand on the river. Been busted out like 20 times like that.

It’s not like they want you to lose and Joe Schmoe to win, but the difference between live poker and online poker is live poker pits good hands against each other more often because they want the pots to be bigger and they want more action on their site. I’ve never seen so many AK vs AA or KK vs AQ. That happens once in a few nights at a live table and it happens at least a few times per session online.

The problem with getting _"It's all rigged!"_ into your mindset is that you'll carry it with you in each game you play online. Bad beats are a mathematical certainty, brush them aside instead of attributing them to rigging. The donk who just called your rockets with 7 2 off is *_supposed_* to beat you over 12 times in 100 match-ups. When bad-beats happen, don't allow your "rigging" belief to become a self-fulfilling prophecy and affect your play ever after.

Incorrect, don't brush them aside, it's clearly not rigging, there are too many paper trails to people with too much to lose. That's obviously not the answer and should ALMOST not even be considered.

When teams are colluding they have blockers/unblockers that you're not aware of, thus making their equity higher than you think it is, by an undefined amount, remember it also means they can bluff catch you WAAAAAAAAAY wider, individually, just by knowing that X team-mate folded A2o with a blocker to the nut flush for example...

When you start going through the top 100 players stats and they have MULTIPLE Royal Flushes, something is wrong. The people with the most "luck" always seem to be the ones with the heavy weight Visa or Master Cards. I refuse to believe this is coincidence. Are all poker sites rigged? I don't know. I will say this though, the "RNG" is fishy. Especially when you've watched years or WSOP and never seen anything like it. Bad beats happen but not every single hand.

After studying this game for years, I realize the turn and the river are in a sense rigged, but not unfairly rigged. The combinations of possible hands that people play the flop with, almost always includes some chance of smashing the turn or river. Many of the biggest pots are created from unlikely turns and rivers. They key is knowing when you are ahead or behind. On bad turns and rivers, good players minimize the losses. On good turns and rivers, good players maximize the profit. The mathematical possibilities of the cards themselves is rigged. It is built in to the game, but it is not unfair. In fact the built in so called rigged combinations of possible hands is an opportunity to crush your opponents.

An example of this would be when you make a player fold a better hand. It being rigged there is irrelevant but relevant at the same time. If it was rigged for you to be dealt the worse or loosing hand, or your opponent the better hand (depending on how you look at it), you won with the worse cards. Facts speak for themselves and unless they are in on it, there are plenty of players still starting from micro stakes and making their way up to high stakes. It’s very much still possible and happening. Kind of like immigration.

@@carlwaynecole I have been playing for years too... Ok you know how to calculate your odds, but the game is not just about that, there are so many factors. How can you say that you studied enough, study is never enough, you never know everything, we can clearly see that your attitude is part of the problem. I see aces vs kings every day multiple times, so what? That doesn't prove anything. How do you keep track of your records? What software do you use? Because if you don't use a software, you can speculate whatever you want but it doesn't mean it is true. There is no thing such as loose when you're supposed to win, because there is no supposed to win at poker, that does not exist, there are probabilities, and that's it, you just have to accept it. How do you know that you have more losses than wins with aces vs kings? Do you have that actual data? And also, depending on the size of the sample you could experience things like that, poker is not sbout short term, poker is about long term. Long term is way longer than most people believe, you begin to have a reliable amount of data when you reach about 10k tournaments, you said you only played a few thousand hands, that's way too little, you can't use a sample like that as rule, because it is not, it is variance.

Well aside from doing math to find the astronomical odds of seeing KK v AA 5 times within 10 minutes on one table...or seeing 10 straight flushes in one sitting. And I've had both. The odds are STAGGERING against seeing EITHER of those things. The former, KK v AA, is a standard hand in the games I've seen. It's SO unlikely to see this specific match up as often as I have, that I would have successfully filled up the grand canyon with water if I added one drop for every time I won the lottery before I could see it again at this point. Well...assuming I played the lottery at all and bought a ticket every day.

I dipped my toes in at the micro-stakes level and noticed the difference within hours. I went on an incredible run using the free tickets awarded by the site and then withdrew everything. Went back for a cheeky game after a second deposit, was stunned by how bad a run I went on. Give all the winnings back and a bit more. Tried other sites and they were just the same with their negative variance in the end. You can only win when you first join the site. After your first withdrawal, or try and build up a substantial bankroll nothing goes right. Stick to live poker and you will have more fun, enjoy the social interaction and will be more successful in your game, with balanced variance.

Of course it's rigged. No sarcasm. Poker stars deals hands with the intention of having bigger pots. The money goes into the middle, the better for them. Sometimes I win hands I really shouldn't. So the game is not rigged against any one person; but it puts way to many hands out where players almost have to get the money in. Card coordination is what I'd call it

I am a winning online poker player. 13 bb per 100 hands for a 100,000 hand sample at 10 nl and 9 bb per 100 at 30 nl, and that would be higher if I was not experimenting with LAG style. I play better as a TAG at this time. In any case I do feel online poker IS rigged and I am a winning player. I feel it is rigged in a way that makes sense. I believe it is NERFED and can give a good example why. The thing about online poker is there is so little action, we all know the feeling we get AA no one has anything, we get a set, no one has anything, I get a gut shot straight no one has anything over and over again exept on a few very VERY rare days where we get a bunch of heaters, and it is all too rare online, most of the time we are beating fish who are pretty much giving us their money. I can play 2000 hands 3000 hands and nothing much happens, on good tables with weak players, and this happens often. Yes everyone says this is normal with online poker. You can play 40,000 hands or more and break even. But this is my question. I play in live poker casino games, with 10 tables that are 9 ring. That is 25 hands per half hour, so about 500 hands per hour. In that hour they run high hand bonus. Constantly there are full houses, quads and even a lot of straight flushes. I can play 3,000 hands a day online for MONTHS and I will see a decent amount of boats, usually when no one else has anything, but I am not seeing all these big hands like quads, straight flushes, and hardly ever get heaters. Why does 500 hands generate all these big hands at a live casino, but online we do not see this? True it is 6 handed and the players are more selective, and there are far fewer big multi way pots, these things would certainly reduce these hands, but not down to almost NOTHING, and that is what we see with online poker, almost nothing, no action, and am talking about a big name "legit" poker site, as online poker is legal in my state. What makes me different than a lot of people who question online poker is that I am a winning player, and got to say online poker has been great for improving my game, with the aid of Poker Tracker 4, and studying a lot of books and videos. So, I feel very lucky because you HAVE to get extremely good to beat online poker and I do not believe anyone can get very good without online poker to practice on, and HUDS and Tracker data to study our games and find leaks. Certainly once your skill edge is big enough, and you have enough fish and call stations in your games, and you also need at least 7 to 8 tables to play, preferably more like 12 to 14. I can only see 4 tables at a time cause I stack the tables over each other, just have one computer monitor and need reading glasses. Yes, you can make good money at online poker, but does that mean that things are not nerfed? Not at all does it mean that, if your skill edge is great enough you can still win, but this is not fair to the skilled players. However, ass long as there are a lot of people I crush the games, and it is not that much of a problem, if you got a lot of tables going you can still make a lot of money pretty fast online, but have realized early on that there is truly a lack of big heaters and things seemed NERFED. I study the game all the time, I am a USCF Chess Expert rated 2130 something. I was a physics major. I am constantly learning more and more about poker, I love the game, it is beautiful, but there is no way that online is playing like regular cards. I understand poker math. It is very simple math, though some of the ideas are very elegant and beautiful. Like balanced GTO playing and how if you balance your bet size and bluffs to value hands you can make the caller indifferent and win the pot on average! When I started playing online poker I thought something seemed wrong. I thought it seemed nerfed, but when I started I could not win, I was a losing player. During the pandemic I got much better, and it helped that it became easy to win because casinos were shut down, so the games were very soft. As the casinos opened again the games got tougher, but I had plugged a whole lot of leaks, and my expeience of playing over 1 million hands, and analyzing with Flopzilla. and also studying many books by John Little, Split Suit, and there videos, as well as BlackRain who makes excellent content , Bart Hanson, Upswing Poker, and watching pros playing online on vlogs, all this helped greatly. So YES If you got a HUGE skill edge and a BIG player pool you can make good money at online poker. But I believe we should be making more money. I believe that the online poker corporations, and that is what they are, do not want the good players absolutely decimating the weaker players, so the games have been NERFED, to make things very even. But if you plays 20 to 30 hands per day, and have good table selection skills you can still win. But this does not mean that we should trust these gaming companies. And this gets back to the question, WHY do I see so many quads and straight flushes for 500 hand samples sizes, per hour in casinos when 10 tables are running, and obviously I am talking about 500 hands from everyone playing in an hour as dealer live can deal about 25 hands per half hour per table. This is a lot of BS, and ignorant and arrogant pros have given gaming corporations a license to NERF our games. Sure they math distribution of hands looks consistent, but that can be done by nerfing the games too. I am a winning player. A crusher at low stakes anyway and I crush live 1 2 and 2 5 as well. Anyone wants to see my Poker Tracker 4 stats just ask. Fed up with these pros always saying online is normal poker. It is clearly nerfed. Do you really think the big corporations want the pros winning all the money fast and having huge stacks while the fish lose it all fast? Online poker is fast as it is, but we should be winning faster. I play lots of fish with VPIPs of 40 ,50, PFRs of 40 even 3 bets of 17. Here in the USA online poker players are mostly tight regs, call stations and fish. Problem is the stations and fish get bored by the lack of action too, and they lose their money fast. The winter is better than the summer cause way more people online. I am not fish. I am doing 13 bb per 100 for a BIG hand sample size. That is considered extremely good. Can you win at online poker yes, you can, but the good players should be able to win a lot more than they do, and at a faster win rate.

Besides if a site would tell you which algorithms they're using for their rng's and those algorithms would prove to be secure that would draw in more players.

I play PLO where hand selection preflop is supposedly extremely important. On every single site in the micros up to .25/.50 there are house players who play basically every single hand on multiple tables, and they always accumulate a big stack on each table, day after day, until finally they stop showing up. It's happened on every site i've been on - they defy PLO good play logic yet time and again accumulate big stacks by playing literally every hand. It goes against everything the statisticians say about PLO and odds and starting hand selection.

So your argument is that we will have this kind of variants, online or in a real poker table... I understand that, but those variants are not the same online comparing to a real poker table...I believe they rig the game so that once every X hands one player has a pretty good hand but there is another player who has a better hand than that...This way the rate at which people win or lose is higher than at a real table... I don't know, perhaps it is only in my head, and I don't trust a machine.

But I guess we don’t need the shoe to be on the other foot, since >90% of the time they don’t hit their miracle T on the turn or river and we stack them.

When I play in the casino, and I raise pre flop, get called, if it goes to a showdown its very rare my opponent turns over Jack, 4 off suit after flopping trips. I find that online at the low stakes people call raises more, and like this video demonstrates.....sometime the cards just fall in a way that you have to be an expert to not get trapped.

You promoting that online poker is not rigged is what really stumps me. I've seen calls made that one would only make if one knew someones hold cards, because if a player made calls like that consistently they wouldn't have a bank roll. I have ever range for every position, the knowledge of pre flop betting, odds of hitting, plays and traps. I can confidently say online poker in the US is rigged like a minefield. Calling with A 3 off out of position with a 8 times the big blind bet because nobody respects a standard 3 or 4, flopping dead, and still calling a 3/4 pot is all I need to know. U tell me how he had the balls to call another enormous bet with the ace on the turn. This community needs to see the bad voodoo it has been promoting, can't get an honest game.
