<description><![CDATA[Tom, you don't need to be a programmer to hack the site's systems to see the code. Just do an extensive hand analysis - 100,000 should be representative enough. Get hold of something like PokerTracker or PokerOffice, and you'll soon be able to see whether or not things are out of place.

To do so wouldn't take long (especially if the thousands of believers got involved), and would put this argument to rest, once and for all.

For their part, the poker operators have already done such experiments and have publicised the results. Now it's *your* turn to do the same.

Without something concrete to look at, your beliefs are based on coincidence. For me, that's not strong enough.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[by the way:

&quot;Most sites do independant audit and publicise the results. They use government and industry accredited agencies to do so, and this is pretty good in my eyes. &quot;

you need to research the &quot;GOVERNMENT and INDUSTRY ACCREDITED AGENCIES&quot;  that you believe the poker sites are using.  What governmenet?  Not the US government.  And &quot;INDUSTRY ACCREDITED&quot; agencies.  So online poker accredited agencies.  So they same companies that are cheating you, have accredited an agency to say &quot;ya, they're not cheating&quot; and we are supposed to blindly believe?  Maybe it is you that should research?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[no, the difference here from me claiming online poker is rigged, and you claming a teapot is orbiting the earth is that I am NOT THE ONLY ONE claiming that online poker is rigged.

Do a search on google for online poker is rigged and you will see thousands of other people who see the same patterns I do.

I understand your point and I respect it.  I simply cannot prove that the programming is rigged because I do not have the programming expertise nor hacking skills to do it.  Therefore, as a rational and intelligent human being, I must rely on my senses and my past experiences.  Like I said before, if I constantly and routinely notice a pattern of action flops, a pattern of losing the remainder of my bankroll in only minutes after I withdraw only a portion of my bankroll, and a pattern of wins anytime I open a new account or come back from a hiatus from an existing account, then I need to be logical and say that something is not on the up and up.  

You can continue on believing that people in the online poker business are moral and ethical human beings that don't have the capability or any reason to cheat.  

I will not allow myself o get bent over like that man.  I think you will soon see the truth as more and more people stop playing online, tv coverage slows, the world series of poker attendance goes back down, etc etc etc.

The online poker companies are going to screw themselves right into the ground.  Less and less people are playing online poker and it's not because many of the sites have stopped taking business from Americans... It's because the American's that play are tired of getting kicked in the balls.

<description><![CDATA[If you're going to try a 3D poker client I'd recommend Pokerwize.com. Pokerwize tie into the back end of the Mircogaming Network which give you access to 10,000 players online at any time.

<description><![CDATA[Tom:

&quot;The burden of truth is not on me as I am not in a court of law, nor is anyone being tried here.&quot;

No, but you are claiming something that is out of the ordinary. If I were to claim that there is a teapot orbiting the Earth, it would be up to me to prove that were the case.

If you have statistical evidence showing the patterns then I will pay more attention, but anecdotal proof is not proof. 

I can't remember who said this originally, but &quot;Don't mistake coincidence for fate.&quot;

Even if it happens an awful lot, it doesn't mean that the two events are related, or that one is dependant on the other. It's an example of a cicular belief system - where you only notice things that reinforce your beliefs, while ignoring things that don't.

Most sites do independant audit and publicise the results. They use government and industry accredited agencies to do so, and this is pretty good in my eyes.

If you (or anyone else) can provide a reproducable experiment that empiracally proves there is something fishy going on (and I suspect no-one can, otherwise they would have by now), then I and everyone else that is on my side of the fence, WILL take notice.

PS - let's not also forget the possibility that your psychology at the tables after a withdrawal is what's affecting your game.

Try putting a bot on the tables after a withdrawal and see if it still happens.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[see, that is where you are incorrect.  The burden of truth is not on me as I am not in a court of law, nor is anyone being tried here.  I do not have some sort of device to hack into the programming of the sites and verify their code, nor would I know how to do this if I did have such machine. 

I ask you to prove that  the sites are doing independant audits, then I ask you to research the companies that do these so-called audits.

Anyway, Because I don't have the know-how to hack into a sites programming I must rely on patterns.  Just like the rats that get shocked every time they eat the cheese on the left, eventually they stop eating the cheese on the left.  They don't have go to court and hire lawyers and scientists to prove that they are being tested.  They just know that anytime they eat the cheese on the left they get shocked.  So, what do they do?  They eat the cheese on the right!  If I know that everytime I withdraw only a portion of my money on an online site , when I come back to play the remaining bankroll it is gone within minutes.  If that happens to me 100% of the time, then eventually I recognize the pattern.  And if I recognize a pattern, and it's virutally 100%, then that is all i need.  I don't need to prove it.  I simply know that I get fucked each time I do that.  Therefore, I don't just withdraw some of my money, I withdraw ALL of it.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tom, the ability to do something doesn't mean that we can assume that it is being done. Innocent until proven guilty - the burden is on you to do this. If you can conclusively prove to me (and everyone else) that any particular poker site is cheating, despite their frequent independant audits, then I will change my mind and post publically here. Until then, I rest my case.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The reason the top players continually come out on top online is because they play at high levels.  The poker rooms are rigged at the lower levels. 

To your argument :
&quot;While it seems unobvious to these players that poker sites are earning enough money as it is without resorting to shuffle fiddling, rational arguments cannot successfully dispel this urban legend and repeated attempts just give me a headache.&quot;

My response is this:  WHY WOULDN'T THEY?  You say they make &quot;enough&quot; money.  Is there ever enough money to be made? Never.  If they can get away with it, and it can't be proved you, as an educated and intelligent person, must simply learn to recognize pattern of cheating, patterns of you going broke right after you withdraw some of your money, etc etc.

<description><![CDATA[Its all about the money.  Once they figure out a way to regulate it there will be a second boom.  I wonder if the people in Costa Rica still need to pay taxes?  It is a small country and has so many poker sites they have to be raking in some cash.  Something tells me that the sugar cane farmer has no idea.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[you bet your hand far too weak, thats why the guy was calling you down with an inside straight draw. although he obviously has no concept of pot odds. someone who had a better kicker would probably raise, so you can be certain he has less of a hand than you (which isnt actually a very good one by the way). i think you should've bet the hand on the flop and turn much stronger because if he did hit his straight on the river you probably would pay him off.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just because you can check-raise don't think you have to. Personally I bet out this flop as it is very dangerous. Anyone with a 10 has a draw and you're holding the idiot end of it. When you check-raised you'd have been better CR all-in IMO.

Also, I NEVER start playing until the BB gets around to me, ever. Why pay 1/2PTBB and be out of position, usually with trash, it damages your earn rate too much. Also, calling even a min raise with T7o was asking for trouble! He got lucky but the hand itself was full of errors by all partys.]]></description>

<link>http://www.allinpokerblog.co.uk/09102006-An_Unexpected_Check_Raiser.php#comments</link>
<description><![CDATA[The check-raiser has definitely got a hand, I think the board is dangerous to bluff as it could help so many people so he must surely have a big hand. His VP$IP, PFR and AF stats are all useful and in fact probably vital, to making a proper decision here. You're drawing to 4 outs if Villain has 55 and are in big trouble. From what have you seen would viallain CR just holding a 5 for 2 pair? I think you're right pushing here because all your chips will end up in the middle anyhow so why not now?! You got unlucky as he had the case Jack, shame a couple of Kings or whatever didn't fall to cancel his kicker!

Dust yourself down and get back to the tables!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm sure it's not an &quot;illegal aid&quot; - it's only counting odds.

I think it *is* useful as a learning tool - it's supposed to take some of the stress of doing that maths quickly. Most sites only allow you a few seconds and I find it hard.

Pokerbility does it for me, so I don't have to. It makes playing a lot less stressful, since you're not constantly watching the clock.]]></description>
