Firstly, I think VA is spot on with his reasoning. To add to this, I wanted to point out that experts and mathmeticians belive that your WINRATE should balance after 100k hands, not necesarily PARTICULAR hands or draws, because out of the 100k sample, only a fraction will be flush draws for example. OVERALL you should get your winrate, but out of the hundreds of filters possible, it's ignorant to expect them ALL to be exactly where they should be.
I would like to reitterate a point that really struck me again last night. I was multitabling 8 SNG's at a time, and noticed how freakin bad most of the players were. Calling huge reraises with 78, calling allins with 10J, but seemingly every time they where hitting and stacking me. I spent all night swearing at my computer, questioning why bad plays where getting paid every time, christ knows how many AA & KK got cracked. Nightmare. Played 36 games in total, checked my bankroll, and im up $350. Bad players increase variance by putting ur luck to the test more, AND occasionally you make mistakes because they are harder to read than a logically minded player. Their absence of logic more than makes up for your occasional blunder but meanwhile if your running bad, it feels like rigged city.
Most of you know I play pokerstars, but it gets just as bad press in the rigged department as fulltilt, with exactly the same complaints. VA is right that no-one can have 100% proof whether these sites are rigged or not, but by sharing rational theories on the similarities of our experience, we get a bigger picture of the true nature of the beast, and this is the cure for tilt.
