I've been a hold 'em player for years and a consistant winner until I started online poker. The site I play is rigged...I am sure of it. I have continued to lose and now am really pissed off.

Then maybe you should stop playing on-line. Just a thought.

I was in a SNG the other day. Its down to the final 3. We all have even stacks of about $4500. The blinds are $100/$200. Im in the BB with JT. The button calls. The SB calls so we all play. The flop comes 7d 8d 9h. SB bets $600. I decide to slowplay and just call. Maybe not the greatest idea with a flush draw on the board. The button goes all in. SB folds. So much for the slowplay, I call his all in. He turns over 56 for the smaller straight. I throw my arms up in the air. A few seconds later the chips are sliding over to him. "What the heck just happened", I scream (out loud and I was by myself). He had 5h6h and caught runner runner hearts. The site IS crooked. Just kidding.......The funny thing is for the past 10 minutes, the button had been saying PokerStars always screws him. When my cards flipped up he said "Screwed by PS again". I went to bed in a bit of a daze.....

I never really complain about a site being crooked but I do have more luck with Pokerstars than Ultimatebet. Maybe its the quality of players there.

What do you want us to do about it? Maybe you just aren't any good.

Back over on some game forums (like internet RPG games) this would be known as a "troll" post. He is just trying to stir the pot up and tick off some people. Thinks himself quite clever.

It takes a lot to adjust to online play. If you're on a small no-name site then it may very well be that it is "rigged" - but if you're playing on one of the monster sites like Party, UB, Paradise, True, etc, then chances are that you're just noticing a higher bad beat frequency because you are playing more hands per hour.

runner runner suits are going to happen a little more that 4% of the time.
No big deal. You slowplayed your self into this hole and bitch about pokerstars when the card probability buried your ass . get over it.
