I hate to nit pick, but there is actually one evidenced case of "rigging". I believe it was PlanetPoker wayyy back. It wasn't so much rigged as their RNG wasn't very good and some college kids wrote a script that could show you your opp.s possible holdings, and the possible flops. After the flop I'm fairly certain it nailed all of them something like 97% of the time. It's been fixed since then, and there hasn't been anymore documented cases.

Unless of course you count some of the "best" MTT players online playing multiple accounts. All bow down to the greatness that is JJProd's grandma.

You know, I have heard this rumor for some time, but never seen any evidence of it published anywhere, despite looking for something in print about it. I have always concluded that it was a rumor meant in some way to trash Planet Poker, because at the time this rumor first surfaced, Planet was one of the bigger players in online poker (this all circulated back when Mike Caro was endorsing them). Anyway, if you have an evidence, I'd like to see it (comments in the zoo at 2+2 archive are not evidence, IMNSHO).

In any event, a weak RNG isn't "rigging" and with respect to JJprodigy, collusion or cheating isn't "rigging" either. Not that we can prove or disprove it, but I would lay odds that there is exponentially more cheating taking place on Party or Pokerstars than there is on B2B.
