I gotta say full tilt with its countless mysterious and criminal, runner, runner flushes and endless amounts of flopped straights, and lowstacks always get monsters in my opinion to keep them in the tournament longer, i'll post some hand histories later to show you some of the silliest beats i've seen on their!!

Just ask yourself 1 question...

How long time do you think a poker site would survive if someone could prove it was rigged?

Poker sites are regulated and need a license to run their activities - and therefor they are checked on a regular basis.

And yes, the software seems to be crappy now and when, but rigged no way...

Anyway, why should the do it? - the make their cut if you win or lose a hand because the get the same amount of the rake.

This topic has been discussed in numerous ways and places time and time again.

As the previous poster said a poker site has too much to lose to 'rig' players' hands, and it makes no difference to them who wins as the sites only make money from a rake of the pot.

It sucks to get beat you set of aces on the river by a flush or a straight by some stupid fish that lucked out but it happens and we have to live with it unfortunately.

i think tilt is rigged, it does have a tad bit more flushes than any other site...also the quads on that site are insane...i think it favors the player with more chips because bad beats usually happen to the short stacks

anyone who believes ftp is rigged is seriously deluded its not true

i honestly dont believe these sites are fixed, however it would make sense. people dont think poker sites would profit off of rigged games, howvwer they would very much indeed. If a site riggs a table to constantly give one opponents the better hand, then the game would end quicker. The quicker the games, the more games the site can fit in one day, wich equals more rake and in turn more money$$

I can't believe people actually think sites are rigged... What benifit would multimillion dollar companies have of making you loose a hand so someone else can take your money?
Are they being paid off? umm...no...
They could get sued big time if this was happening, so its not worth it for them. And if they were people much smarter than yourselfs would have gotten word out by now, because they would actually have evidence. Rigged poker sites would make national news, just like the lotto error.
Besides if you honestly believe the sites are rigged, then why are you still playing on them?

There are no rigged sites, I used to have a theory that full tilt promoted big hands so that you will keep playing them, but suddenly i dont mind it, I play it, deal with the bad beats, and move on.

sometimes when u get tht rediculous 2 outer against you it seems like its rigged but it isnt. it only seems tht way because you play so many hands and therefore more likely to get a bad beat
