Please explain in what ways you or others think the site is rigged. And, what you think the site has to gain by cheating players.

I agree with others that it generates rake. However, I think it also is set to reward stupid play. If you have a site where a few sharks eat all the fish. The fish would not come back. I think it sets up players to lose and win at a fairly consistent level. That way it keeps both the sharks and fish paying to play. Nobody ever cashes out.

I think it slows down the rate at which good players bust out the bad ones. Despite this, I think the games are beatable, its just slower and harder than it should be. It's still worth playiing at these sites, which is why I'm here.

never hear good players complain about anything being rigged, always the whiney lil bitches lol

exactly

I agree with lost2qandisa...................................... .....

nobody except losing players complain about it being "rigged". Any player who tracks their hand history will see that the statistics always stay the same and even out. Not to mention, humans are hardwired to remember negative emotion over positive ones (according to the APS it takes 5 good memories to every one bad memory to even out emotional response). This is an evolved response because negative responses can result in death and we are learned creatures. So when people scream "rigged" I usually just forward them to a poker strategy website so they can learn how to play their hands properly.

Only people that lose complain about it being rigged I will admit tho ub was rigged but it basically means people think the site is cheating

i compain to live support when i bad beat someone.....
