A lot of you guys say that pokerstars is rigged. But nobody really explains who its actually rigged for. If one of you guys were playing heads up against me and I continually suckout on you, is pokerstars rigged in my favor? But then I go play heads up against somebody else and he continuously suckouts on me. So IF it was rigged, who is it rigged for? I play a lot of SNG and MTT's and this is what I notice while playing.........It seems to me that its rigged for the larger stacks in the SNG's and MTT. The larger stack always seems to win against a low stack whether it be suckout or not. AK vs A6 with the big stack having A6. You know the 6 is coming. Or being heads up with live cards, big stack always hits. Dont get me wrong, small stacks dont always lose against a larger stack, it just seems like the larger chip stack is favored no matter what hand you have. I figure PS does this to get people knocked out faster so they can go spend more $$ on different games (tourney fees and rake). I dont know, it could be all in my head. Nobody really knows or can prove its rigged. This is just what ive noticed at Pokerstars.

Most players who think online poker is rigged have played very little or no live poker to compare it to.

All poker sites are rigged..... its not how most people think though. They dont sit and watch you play and decide to screw you over. There is a virus/program that is installed secretly when you download the site. what it does is make you win at first and steadily make you lose your money. What that does is make you think you are a good player, when you might just be making money by sucking out, and then when you lose all your bankroll you REDEPOSIT. Thats their goal. To get you to put more and more money online. I know you all have noticed that when you first deposit money you win all the races and make desent money, but then you cant win a hand. No matter how big of a favorite you are. Your aces will get cracked by 37 when the flop comes A46.... its happened to all of us many times.you can look at my tournament results on thepokerdb.com..... i will cash in lots of tournaments at a time then there will be a break (where i cant win no matter what) then there will be another period where i am cashing again. What i do now is withdrawl everytime i get over 1k online. I seem to have better luck this way. I dont play tournaments as much anymore also.I know there are a few players on here like bkice and chucksty that seem to never fall into that slump and i find that odd. i was wondering if they do the same thing as me when it comes to withdrawling. well ive babled enough

If you honestly believe that and still play online poker you're an idiot.There are two "online is rigged" camps.- those who think it's rigged to make them lose - there are people who assume that since AA vs KK is 80:20 AA should win every time. They also tend to think that A6 is a monster favorite against KQ aipf. In other words these people are simply clueless- those who think think that online is "rigged" to create "action flops" or favor the under dog (keep them playing to keep raking their hands). This isn't nearly as retarded as the first group but it's still untrue.People think that online is rigged because:- they have an improper understanding of odds and- they remember the unusual case way more than the usualI can tell you about the time that I lost AA to AK aipf. I remember it well. Looking at my PT numbers however I see that my AA wins 82% of the time.

Who do you mean buy 'you guys'? I certainly have never said its rigged against me.

Stars is rigged FOR me. I just play so bad that I lose it all.

[Merlopj]

Don't forget to mention the "if I withdraw any money, I get cold decked and lose the rest of my bankroll on bad beats" part.

[bull62]

Your insane. Watch a MTT on the bubble sometime and see the shortstacks suck out over and over again. But then I guess it would be rigged for the short stacks. Nevermind.

Yeah but you spell like a fivth grader sw on the fivthAnother popular theory is Stars is rigged just so the pot in the .50/1 game get so big coz of big hand v big hand that PokerStars gets a huge $3 rake from that pot. That EASILY nets them an extra $11tyMillion per annum
