I went to bwin for a change not long ago try sometihng new. On that site you see so many outdraws its crazy, im not sayin i dont win anything on the site because i do and im not sayin its rigged because i get my own luck sometimes.Nut the amount of time AA get cracked my random crda hittion 2 pair, higher piar losing to lower pairs hittin sets. runner runner for flushes etc ........ i no it poker but this shouldnt happen as much as it does on there.

*sigh* yet another post for Area 51, methinks

 

Seriously, I (think that I) understand your point Mick. 

 

Although, what makes sites like bwin so different IMHO, is that the European network that they belong to, is so big, that some of the games – even at low stakes – can be pretty tough or quirky... or both.

 

I like the moody graphics on bwin though.

This rings a bell with my experience at bwin and other sites. If you make a withdrawal or fail to generate much rake your luck suddenly 'runs out'. You get rubbish cards, miss almost every flop and then when you do land something like AQ an opponent comes up with AA or AK or a lower pocket pair that holds up.

It makes online poker a boring, frustrating experience. I've just started playing at Sky Poker again and it's like a breath of fresh air. I do occasionally get dealt good hands and they do occasionally hold up after the flop. It makes poker fun and interesting knowing you've actually got a chance of winning.

On so many of the other poker sites out there incredible stuff goes on and you're expected to say 'hey, that's poker', deposit more cash and take another hammering.

At least on Sky my bad beats are evened out by some good ones in the long term. That's what the law of averages says should happen.

On other sites if you're not depositing enough or generating enough rake, you just get rubbish cards, missed flops and outrageous bad beats.

Can I prove definitively that they are rigged? No. Should an independent regulator investigate the sites, do spot checks on their random number generators and examine whether player luck is linked to the rake generated? Absolutely.

Small-time online poker players are expected to deposit their hard-earned cash with multi-million dollar companies. We should be questioning the fairness and integrity of their operations all the time.
