its like this if you cant win on any site its rigged if you win on any certain site you love it well there all rigged i don't see the dealer and seeing is beleiving..

I think it would be too hard to prove merge is rigged. Sure sometimes there are really bad beats, sometimes it happens often, but imo none of the online poker sites are rigged.

Mrlova while i may disagree with your saying merge is not rigged for action. I agree with sample size needed to determine anything. until i have 10k sample size i will remain silent on my rigged for action statement.

Heres a kicker for ya tho isnt the rigged BJ on merge run off the same rng? I think we all agree with casinos online being rigged at a higher % then B&M

I can't believe you actually think it's rigged...The amount of players that think this is ridiculous. I don't think I've used this term to describe players on PO, but the ones that truly think it's rigged are donks. I said it, they are donks. If you can't understand how online poker works or how the caliber of players playing effect the game then you are nothing more then a losing casual player. Merge has been known for years to have the softest games. They have a player base that is very inexperienced and new to poker. These players call with shit, and sometimes they win. No one here can say they've never gotten lucky, no one here can say they never hit a lucky river card. They can't say those things because we've all gotten lucky, and we've all be unlucky. It's poker, it's not a "rigged" site, or a donks fault you lost. It's the cards, aces don't win every hand. Just like 2-7 doesn't lose every hand. If players can't understand that they will never win. Players need to study their game in order to get better, something 90% of users on here probably don't do. I preach it almost every day in chat, it would be nice to see at least a few start working towards improving their games instead of debating on how they got "merged"

Merge is listed as the top site for players being profitable. Probably due to added $ and guarantees or whatever but this stat did surprise me. Nearly 40% are winning players? The closest site was something like 29% or something. Anyway, the river on Carbon does have a life of it's own. No better way to describe it.

That stat shouldn't be surprising if you've played on Merge for a while. If you're haven't, then I'll give you a little history lesson. Merge has been considered one of the softest online poker rooms since I think 2006. When it used to be poker.com and one skin! The caliber of players have never improved due to the larger sites attracting more experienced players. Due to this, the sharks that did want to get action at mid to lower stakes games are able to take advantage of Merge.
