ONLINE POKER - SITE - PokerStars

[cue]

I've scanned through each and every poker site forum here and guess what? Virtually the same posts in every one. "It's rigged", "Bad Beat", "improbable", "incredibly bad runs".

So should one conclude that every single poker site is rigged?

No.

Come on. When you consider the 100,000's of hands per hour dealt, it is extremely likely that some seemingly "improbable" events will occur. And very often the victims of these events find their way to forums like these and cry like a baby about how unfair and "rigged" the site is. But if you had postings from every player on the site you'd find that these "call foul" posters would be drowned out.

Life is full of improbabilities, and sometimes it's your life that it happens to.

I've played on PokerStars for 3 months now and have not experienced anything like what I see complained about here....and yes I've had very bad beats, but I've also learned from them and improved my play over time. I've incorporated a lot of discipline and read and re-read poker theory books. The combination of these things and the experience has taught me the difference between a good player and bad player.

Yes, even good players get bad beats, and sometimes often enough that it feels like you're being toyed with.

But don't buy this "site is rigged" argument. I'm sure you complainers have a poker site of preference, but look at the forum for it....betcha you'll find the majority of postings complain about how corrupt it is.

So what can you say?

A lot of these posts seem to imply that even with the "rigged" sites ... YOU GUYS KEEP PLAYING!!

STOP PLAYING POKER IF YOU CAN'T DEAL WITH IT!!!!
