Do you feel online poker is fair or rigged?

Question

I myself feel it is..I know people will disagree,, I can still win money.. but here is my reasons.
1.) Many times, when I'm not doing well, I sense that I'm going to get screwed and I'm always right..
2.) Why is it that every time I get heads up in a tournament I get a mad rush of cards, as to hurry up the game..
3.) Every site I ever signed up to play for I caught mad cards the first day.. Party Poker, Pacific, Poker Champs, Fair Poker,, and the list goes on..
4.) The first time I played on Fair Poker I must have had pocket aces 5 times, and kings 3 times in the first 2hrs.. Now that is ridiculous..

there are more.. everyone I know says its rigged,, but the people online..

Well when you say the cards balance out in the long run,, your right.. Thats cuz they screw you really bad, then you can't lose a hand.. Obviously there smart enough to realize that.. So they are more deceiving about it.. They get most money when bad players win. Keeps more money on the site..

Answer 1

I don't trust any sort of electronic gambling. People are greedy and it is too easy to set up the odds.

Stick with real cards and a dealer you trust.

Answer 2

I feel that it's rigged. My ex-husband on the other hand has found loopholes where he can sqeeze through and win some good money. He studies these sites, and wins 200 - 300 every couple of weeks. He stays on the poker sites (actually just two) all of the time . Most of his waking hour that is. Anyway, yes, you can make money if you can find the loop holes, but for the average Joe or Jane it's rigged to make us lose money.

Answer 3

It isn't rigged. Poker is a game of variance. Sometimes you get few good cards. Sometimes you get a lot. It doesn't work where you get Aces every 200 hands on the dot. Sometimes you get them 5 times in 100.

And in online poker, you are playing more hands an hour than live. Sometimes twice or three times as many. So you will see hands three times as often because you are playing three times as much!

I've played over 300,000 hands online. Over the long run, hands come out in their normal ratios. It isn't rigged.

Answer 4

ONline poker is weird. When you play with fake money, people play every hand and throw ridiculous amounts into the pot for no reason. When playing real money, sometimes it seems like people have an uncanny sense of what's in other players hands. That's when you you start to think they are using a cheat system to see the other players cards.

Answer 5

If you feel that an online poker room is rigged, it is always a good idea before you play at any online poker room to check their credibility first. If you want to check an online poker room, just type in the name of the poker room into your computer browser
followed by thee word complaint.
example-"fff poker complaints"

If you find numerous complaints about poker rooms, you must consider different factors. When were the complaints made,
who made the complaint (did they understand the terms and conditions of the poker room), is it a payout problem, etc.

Probably the most important factor to consider when playing at any online poker room or casino is to fully understand the Terms and Conditions of the poker room or casino. You may save yourself trouble later by doing things right the first time.

If anyone is looking for reputable online poker rooms or casinos check the following online gambling website.

There may well be some rigged sites. i think that the bigger sites like partypoker have it in their best interest to run a fair game. think about it...yes, it would be easy to rig a game electronicaly. It is just as easy to make MILLIONS of dollars simply raking a straight game. If the game were fixed, some one would have to know about it. Probably lots of people. sooner or later an emplyee would become disgruntled and blow the whistle. Then everyone would know, and no one would play. the golden goose would be dead.

Answer 7

I think it is rigged because millions of people are preparing for real poker. so now they can win at any game. pretty soon people will be winning billions of dollars on world tours because the play a stupid game of online poker. Get what Im saying?

Answer 8

i think it is fair. they make so much money anyway, they aren't going to take the chance to rig it.

hands always come in streaks, build the stack while you can because it may no last. what you're seeing is a huge influx of bad players making bad decisions. people being in pots they shouldn't or calling hands they shouldn't and getting lucky. unless you have an overpair, you're still only about a 60/40 favorite to win a hand preflop against any yahoo.

Answer 9

They're rigged but no differently than if you were to play a slot machine. The odds are set as to who wins what. As long as you don't use your real money, it's just practice anyway. I've played so much that I can pick what card will be next.....now that's scary!

Answer 10

Rigged. I gave up on them a year ago. I prefer going straight to the Casino. A friend told me that the dog races was the very best bet. Bet on the rabbit!
