Topic: Is online poker rigged??? An investigation! Forum: Card Chat

Point well taken, Combuboom, it was a silly line of rebuttal on my part.

I simply continue to think that the basis for the argument in favour of suspected rigging is pretty weak.

Edit: I'd add that since these accusations often come from players "on tilt", that further substracts from the overall credence. Finally, I think people just underestimate the probability of a bad beat. Even 23o is going to beat AA more than once if you hold AA 10 times -- and that's 23o.

Separate rant: I find a lot of folks talk about their successes/failures like every single time they lose a hand it's a bad beat. There's just a cognitive dissonance going on here where some folks don't take responsibility for a lost hand or tourney or session.
