In Response to Re: rigged : Implying a site is rigged affects everyone. What you are saying is that there is no point in learning cause winning a hand/tournament is already predetermined by a rigged system. Don't understand why people think they are entilted to win at poker. Perhaps its this spoon-fed generation where if something isn't as easy as clicking your fingers its someone elses issue, not yours. People work really hard to get good at poker... much like anything else in life. If you do the right thing long term in poker you'l win money. Its that simple. You will not, no matter how good you are, win every hand or every tournament you enter... so expect your Aces to be cracked once in a while and be happy you got it in good, cause long term it'l work out. But as said before you have a tonne of leaks that need sorted. And if you can't any accept that then poker isn't for you. I'm done in this thread. Posted by gazza127
In Response to Re: rigged : common sense tells us a piece of paper always has two sides - a mobius strip proves that is not the case common sense tells us that swithcing boxes is ev neutral in the 'monty hall' problem - statistics can demonstrate that belief is wrong common sense tells us that heavy things fall to earth faster than light things - physics tells us this is false. more damningly, micheal buble, justin beiber, one direction and coldplay are all more popular than than the smiths ever where. what a world eh. --- we are dumb animals, what wisdom we have, and what seperates us from all the other dumb animals in the world, comes from our recognistion that we are dumb: we know that we know zilch and we work on fixing that. people invoking common sense havent got to that recgnition and walk in the fog of blissful ignorance like the dumb animals that they are. if 'sense' was popularised by rationality and a rigerous searh for what is true then common sense would dictate that a rigerous examination by statisicians is the ONLY way of proving the site is/isnt rigged. so, ner. you dumb animal. **kisses** Posted by TeddyBloat

In Response to Re: rigged : I've read that one before. It was expained as " so the software can find the right card ". Some sites actually deliberately programme a slight pause before the river card to heighten the dramatic effect, actually. Posted by Tikay10
I always liked to believe that it was my own computer slowing things down as it was embarrassed and trying to delay showing me the one out river card that the site had 'selected'. Either that or it was scared about what was going to happen to it after I lost the pot (or should that be lost the plot?)
