Okay skippy, Here's the math.If party poker increases their take on a .5/$1.00 table by just 50 cents per hand, times 40 hands an hour (very low for internet play),Times 200 tables = 4000.00 AN HOUR (note: over the last weekend, there were 250+ holdem tables in play and that doesn't include the $1/$2 tables which are just as bad). Which is a mere $96000.00 PER DAY which is $35,040,000.00 a year. No way anyone would cheat for a mere $35 million dollars. The beauty: bad players play in low limit games. Good players play at the higher limits which probably aren't rigged cause if the big boys start bitchin, stuff happens.Oh and for KEEP_BITCHIN. Every poker author makes it a point to mention that it is, in fact, the fish who contribute the money the pro poker players live on. These authors (check it out for yourself: Sklansky, Malmuth, Jones, Burton et al) then make note of a special breed of idiot that thinks it's his responsibility to point out to the mistakes the fish keep making. This has 2 effects: it pisses off the fish and/or they get smarter, or quit playing. The "player" the pros don't want at their table is KEEP_BITCHIN. But then, I am guessing he/she already knows this.
