alright ladies and gents,
Im not sure how many poker players there are in the PH massive, but i would just like to express my thoughts of how im believing it to be a complete stitch.
I have been playing for a few years now and i have noticed that whenever you download new software from a new provider, your game always seems to be set up for you. Meaning that the odds seem stacked towards you and you seem to run hot for a few hours, allowing me to have a good run then cash out my winnings.
Then for some reason, when you have been playing on that particular site for a while, everything seems to change. All hands seem impossible to win, regardless of how good they are compared to others in the hand and im fed up of my opponents hitting "runner runner" all the time
Anyway my point being i do feel that the game is initially rigged to try and "suck you in" if you see what i mean.
I dont class myself as a professional player and i only play within my means. Poker should be a hobby not an obsession. I think im just going to stick to the home games with the lads from now on!
Has anyone else had a similar experiance with this?

100% agree - on-line poker is extremely dodgy.
My mates and I only play home games now, or the odd trip to a poker club in London.
STAY AWAY FROM ON-LINE!! ...trust me on this!!
Yeah me too now. I live very close to a certain casino where they have a fantastic card room and a nice array of cash games and sit and go's to play. Its actually a good night out aswell. My mates and I only play home games now, or the odd trip to a poker club in London.

Anyone that bets real money in online Poker or any other online electronic medium is a fool - plain and simple.
Unlike a real card game where there are real cards, it is just a piece of software that is designed to lull the idiot into a false sense of security by paying out now and than, and then it claws it back. The odds are not decided by the players' skill, they are decided by a number of differing factors, which include:
Online Poker = Stupidity Tax

As someone who has worked for an online poker company I can tell you its legit.
I agree, the cards and how many times each card comes out is regulated and you can request statistics on this from your poker site (I recently did with Ladbrokes). The thing is with online poker is that it's such an easy scape goat to say it's 'rigged' when you lose - it's just you the player that is losing no one else's fault.SS HSV said:

Why would the poker sites rig the cards, when no matter the outcome of any hand, they make money from rake?
When players are hitting runner, runner it is unlucky, but they are the best players to be playing against, as in the long run they will not hit and you will take their money.
How do you know the other players aren't actually employees? When players are hitting runner, runner it is unlucky, but they are the best players to be playing against, as in the long run they will not hit and you will take their money.

Cashed some out then lost the rest on blackjack, but the point is, it can be played and won.

How do you spot a crap online poker player in a forum? They're the ones claiming all the games are rigged.

Stuff followed by Online Poker = Stupidity Tax
Do you mean real online poker? Or do you mean electronic poker? Because real online poker, against real people, is not rigged. The companies get their money from the rake, not how much you lose.
Do you think these companies would exist if they were lying? I work for an online gambling company and the gambling commission are VERY hot on checking the legitimacy of any claims we make.
There is no way on earth it is rigged if just 1 company was found to be rigged the hole online poker industry would collapse and that would mean a loss of millions probably billions worldwide by all the different providers. Why would they risk losing everything when they already make a fortune without cheating, answer me that HSV, Payner?

dont get me wrong, i agree with everything you say. i wouldn't still play online poker if i thought i was completely rigged, i just get annoyed sometimes because it can come across that way sometimes.
i only wanted to know if someone else has had similar online experiances.
i still much prefer live play though

oh and sorry rich, what is HSV?
SS HSV the guy who posted saying he knew it was rigged because he has installed some cameras in the Home Office what that has to do with online poker beats me though
I used to play online a hell of a lot, tbh it became a bit of an addiction lol.....In the long run i'm well in profit but like you said above i just started seeing so many bad beats and miracle river cards and my wins becoming less frequent i decided to pack it all in i now only play home games and occasionally the casino much more fun and just as profitable
