VA you´ve got a solid point about the fact our 100k hands are a drip in the ocean of hands played at that site, and agree to expect all results to be similar would be absurd. The very nature of random states that if in 100k hands the odds of being out by a certain % is 100/1, then 1 in 100 will have seemingly rigged results, so there must be thousands of players out there feeling cheated by online poker, even though the RNG is straight.
Eldave, thankyou for paying your respects to my late bankroll. I do feel it´s important to be a winning player elsewhere to claim a certain site is rigged. Main point being that streaks of bad luck happen to huge,random degrees all the time, so without a positive winrate, it is not as black and white as saying ´Im a winning player and im down for the year´. eg roulette, a minus equity game for the player, theres a system where you can place $1 on red, if it hits win $1, if it´s black you double your next bet to $2. The idea is that you win $1 every time as long as you dont lose 7 or 8 in a row where the table limit will cut you off. If you try this(dont recomend with cash) at some point usually before you can get any decent money, you hit an oober bad streak of 8 blacks in a row, ive tried it its every freakin time! This is a perfect example how odds can feel rigged, and look rigged, but actually the odds have caught up with you. From the players perspective he has just had a 240/1 bad beat, but whether he´s just walked in or has been playing all night, it´s just the table indiscriminately collecting it´s debts.
15% ROI is a GOOD winrate for SNG, with the fast blind increases and relatively short stacks that online TOURNYS offer, I would say 8% is about right.
As for anyone who wants a game, my bankroll is a little pathetic due to epic bills and a bad run so would have to be around NL50 cash or one of the $30-$50 no blind-increase SNG´s headsup on pokerstars (but would play Fulltilt so wouldn´t be eating my own words, the real robbers are moneybookers and there 1.99% withdrawal tax, banked out $4000 without realising and stiffed me for 80 bones..fekin crooks!)
