Been playing at PP for about 6 mos. I've been keeping histories of my hands, and am finding some interesting trends. Same thing as noted above in regards to winning/losing streaks coinciding with deposits/withdrawls. Inordinate amount of Q with undercard hole cards (running average of more than 24% of dealt cards). I keep telling my husband that something's not right, but he says what would they gain by cheating? That was a good question. But think about this: in tourneys, if they have a bot player (or 2) that takes 1st & 2nd place, they have pocketed (on a 30/3 tourney, which I play), $270, and only had to pay out $60. I'm not a programmer, but I can imagine that this can be done. As for why they would do it - if there's money involved, I don't trust anyone at all. If they can make a buck off of it, you can be sure that someone will try to find a way to make more. I don't discount that I could be making poor plays, am on tilt at times, etc. But the number of bad beats that I see on this site are incredible, and too many to ignore. I am going to feed my hand histories into one of the tracking sites and see what the results are. But I don't see how I can track anything other than my progress as I cannot get information other than what the winning hand was and those that have to (or choose to) show. I play at casinos for live play as well and have never seen the beats that occur on a regular basis on PP, happen in live games. I don't know if they're rigged or not, and I don't think there's any way to definitively tell, but I am not ignorant to the possibility that it can happen.
