It's variance, have to learn to get over that. Weak players win a lot cumuatively but individually those weak players go broke all the time.

*sigh*

Two things:

1. Anyone ever notice that winning players never think online poker is "rigged?"

2. WHY would a poker site risk their entire business - which makes them assloads of money when they run clean games - by rigging games, when they will be raking exactly the same amount of money if they didn't? Along those lines - how much would it cost them to pay off the programmer who did the "rigging" to keep his mouth shut? How many millions of dollars? Or do they just have him whacked after he's done with the coding?

Wow, never would have thought you were 40. I guess wisdom does not pass on into old age.

Who's 40?

If you have PT you'll see that AA, KK, QQ, etc... all hold up as they should percentage-wise over a large enough sample. That, along with what TP mentioned, is pretty good evidence that on-line poker is not rigged.

Losing players don't use PT.... if they did, they would know how much they are losing.
