Topic: Another "is online poker fixed" thread.. reasons below! Forum: Card Chat

I don't see where you're coming from. Once I started to get to the point where I started to think I was among the 'advanced' section of poker players (which I'm not saying is the best, but right above beginner and moderate) I started to see less and less of these. I used to not be able to make a bankroll go up for crap. It'd bob up in down depending on my bad beats and luck of the cards.

Now that my bankroll steadily climbs I see less and less of this, and a big part of it is folding when you have the feeling that someone happened to get one of those weird monster hands. I am, in fact, agreeing with you about seeing more monsters online, but I think that's mostly because of the speed of hands. Sometimes at a homegame you'll only play 4-5 hands in ten minutes, whereas online you can play 10-15+ hands in ten minutes, thus being able to see three times as many monsters. You've just gotta be aware.

You sort of have to expect more of them. When someone is going over the top of you again and again when you have that pocket pair that is higher than any of the board, you might just have to let go and realise maybe they hit their set or straight or something.

There's no reason to believe online poker is rigged anymore with the amount of amazing technology we have these days. Online poker has been around for so long now that it would have been detected by now if it were rigged.

Once again, I may have just rambled here, but my point might be somewhere in there. :P
