Online poker rigged....?
Ok, i just played full tilt... i lost 100 within 25 min... i think that they have players sitting there that play and know what cards come up... what do you ppl say?
Answers:
It's impossible that the players sitting at your table would know your cards. Online poker is simply not built that way.
You may be having a pretty tough time catching cards, or you are simply making bad plays that cost you money. It also depends what limits you're playing. If you're playing low limits like $0.05/$0.10 and you lost that much in less than half an hour, there is something seriously wrong with your game. If you're playing higher limits, like $1/2 or $2/4, losing 100 off a bad bluff or suckout is normal.
Online poker is a great way to make money, ONLY IF you know your game well. My boyfriend makes a couple thousand every weekend playing, and hasn't had a losing weekend in half a year. However, I know people that are great players and just have been having slow days.
I have been playing online poker for nearly three years and never lost that much in such a short period of time.
Either you suffered some really bad beats...or need to learn to play poker.
I haven't played on full tilt, but I have played on PokerStars and Pacific Poker, and The Gaming Club (Prima Network) before for real money. In my opinion, they aren't rigged. One time I lost 7 100bb buyins at Prima one night, and I am a lifetime winner. **** happens.
I can say with almost 100% certainty that online poker isn't rigged. The reason I say this is that I have played both online on many sites as well as in casinos and there really isn't that much difference other than not looking directly at the people when play against them online. The same bad beats occur at the casino poker tables that occur online. Poket aces, kings etc. still get cracked and big hands still get drawn out on when the river card hits. It's a part of the game. Keep in mind that texas hold'em is very easy to learn, yet it takes several years to master. You have to know what your odds are to hit certain hands in any given situation and the only way to learn this is by seeing and playing out thousands upon thousands of hands. Just have a little patience when you're at the table cause you're not always going to hit and win with your big hands. As you get better the money will come, but also know when to get up and walk away when you're on a losing streak.
Players sitting WHERE? I am a programmer and have programmed several of these card games for Mystic Inc. ~~~~I'm just smiling and shaking my head!!~~~
...There are thousands, often at the same time playing the games. We programmed them at a random call. Sir, there are not other PEOPLE playing with you. You are playing with the computer.
You think and think and finally decide. You then make your choices and hit enter (or whatever) and the computer takes about 1/100th of a second to make IT'S decision!
...Most of the language is CC+ and is doing very good. We were pleased with the results. Again, a limit of payout dollars has be set, and you'll win when a random winning cycle comes up.
...Keep playing, someday you'll hit that spot. In the meantime keep giving us your money. The more we get, the more pizza we can buy! Plus a new car here and there! Ha! Ha! - Play a full $1000 once in a while. . . I've got two kids to put through college.

im not sure about rigged, but i think the way that the dealing works is that someone is just given an awesome hand, and then you got people who get dealt hands that could win, but of course someone is out there with a better hand. every time i play a poker game, whether its online or not, someone just always has a great hand
It's not rigged. Full Tilt is notorious for bad beats. People will keep calling you with an inside straight draw just to see if they hit it. Poker Stars seems to be a little better but bad days are bad days.
No you are just a bad player.
My good friend signed up for Full Tilt in January and is currently up about $13,000. I've seen his account and his profile on officialpokerrankings.com.
Anyone who thinks they are being ripped off on a major online poker site is just a bad player who has had a combination of bad luck and bad play.
I rarely play on Tilt, as I prefer Stars. But I've made about $2,000 in the past few months. I've seen no evidence of collusion, cheating or weird cards being dealt. Bad beats per hand are no more than a real casino in Vegas, or a WSOP event.
With the income the online poker sites are earning from tourneys and cash games, there is no reason for them to jeopardize the cash flow by any means of cheating. Poker is a game of odds - even if the odds are 95-to-5, the 5% card will still hit 1 out of 20 times.
Good poker players understand the bad beats - the good player makes the correct decision and the bad player makes the bad decision, but happens to win. The good player will keep the attack on the bad player because of the bad player is constantly makes bad decisions. (With bad decisions, the bad player will slowly, or quickly, lose his money.)
Poker is a game of "good bets at favorable odds". You may need to learn what a "good bet" is and what "favorable odds" are.
PS, I've been playing online since Moneymaker won, always for cash/tourneys, mostly for fun/entertainment and small profit, and have seen it all; the worst being the one-card out that hits and I lose. But, that's poker.
Anyone who thinks they can roll in the dough every single week, week after week is full of it. Maybe, just maybe one guy is lucky enough to do it for a while. Think of it this way, if PGA golfers had to pay to play in tourneys, Tiger would be the only one that could pay his bills. That's one man out of hundreds, and they are all play at a professional level. Sure you can win playing cards, try it for a living without any back up? I don't think so. Like any game or sport, even if your good enough you still have to have sponsorship, or a contract with a team. Seriously good poker players are a dime a dozen, you will find 8 or 9 at any table of 10. Keep rollin those dice and prayin. I do.
i don't think so,i think you have to make more practice before sitting on the real money tables
