Is online poker rigged

[JLynn171]

after playing live for 10 years at casino and seeing the hands i've seen, I would believe the rigged theory more if AA,KK,AK always beat 88,77,AQ

The "rigged" theories/question have always amused me. I always wonder what they mean by "rigged". Perhaps a faulty RNG? Maybe mulit-accounters/bots/house players running the poker sites? Super Users that can see your hole cards? Or a combination of any of these. LOL don't make me laugh....
I don't think it is "rigged" There is variance in poker like in sports. Think about the NCAA tournament and the upsets each year. I know online can be frustrating, but poker isn't won in one hand or one tournament. The game of poker is a life long game.

very much agreed, i heard when online poker first started that there were programs out there allowing other players to see other player whole cards, I did ALOT I mean months of searching for this amazing program, couldnt ever find it, even at the most shadiest websites i could think of too look, had alot of freinds try and find such a program none to ever be found...

it seems that way but not personal

All games in the casino are "rigged" in favor of the house. every game is in favor of the house, except for poker but there are alot of dealers who can stack in it favor of any person at the table they want. Not worth losing there job over but alot can do it..

Online poker is sketchy in the least but i dont think they rig it in anyones favor, altho i used to think that, but more action rigged but then i have seen alot of crazy stuff live too, its just not every other hand like you see online.

I don't know if it's specifically "rigged", but there is an obvious difference in the RNG of different sites. I'm just saying "variance" was way less of a bitch on PS than it is on Carbon. The suckouts I saw on PS were the same type of crap I saw in real life.

I wouldn't say rigged is the correct word as it implies intentional deceit. But I would agree there is a difference in action between different sites, even if it's very tiny. If you know anything about computer science you know how difficult it is to be truly random, so I just chalk it up to difference rng algorithms. I don't think the sites intentionally rig it towards one person or another, I just think different algorithms produce different feeling action.

The problem with random is you never really know if its random.

So you really believe the software could possibly know who is a good or bad player and then make a decision to reward the bad player? Give me a break.
