Am I being rigged by Full Tilt Poker or is this normal variance? - Page 12

Here you want the answer: No you didn't get cheated. Everyone takes beats, over and over. Your beats are in fact nothing special. I've had set vs set a bunch of times. Do I think it sucks, yup. Do I think it's rigged, not really.

I've benefitted from the "right" card hitting and I've been on the other end. I don't see from a couple hands you've posted how you could be cheated.

You should read BBV some more. Read some of Grimstarr's posts where he went from what 100k to near a million and dropped it all. Did he claim to be cheated? Nope, yet you who is still up, is still naive about poker thinks the site purposefully cheats him for what gain?

If the site were rigged wouldn't it want you to keep playing to keep generating rake? The site doesn't benefit from players like myself and yourself from busting and from people cashing out, it benefits from people playing. So I don't see why you would think it's just trying to bust you, it isn't. If you don't like it play something else or do something else with your money and time cause it's not worth your time to complain about it.

My point exactly. The sites build up your roll, then bust it down to even. You break even. The site makes the rake from a 2-4k $ swing. That is rake manipulation. Just open a new screename on the upswing and it's all good from there. Maybe if Gremlin or whatever his name is would have changed screens then he would be sittin on a couple of mil now. I thought it was just my line of thought at first, until about the 4th or 5th time I did it. Proof is in fact, and I'm proof that new players rolls are manipulated for an increased rake. Am I complaining? HELL NO! Stars has furnished my house as well as paid off my car. Just learn how the system swings and use it to your advantage! Case in point, open a new account Yoshi. Put up about 1200 of your winnings and watch it fly.

OK wiseguy...where?

And don't say Cincinnatis or Wabash, that's low stake all-in-pre-flop cash game.

I called a couple of casinos, I said 'What cash games do you run?' They said 'All our games are cash sir'.

I gave up after that...I'm looking for 2/5 GBP blinds with 200-500 GBP buy in....I'd settle for 1/2 100 GBP buy in if I had to but it has to start at a decent time at night e.g.7pm or run during the day.

I would like to think that yoshi is leveling us cause I would like to think that nobody can be that stupid. But who knows.

How bout you organize a NL home game with those limits at your house. And find people interested to play it. You might see 2 pair vs 2 pair, set vs set, AA vs KK, and then you'll think home games are rigged too.

yoshi123 · #**116** 07-10-2007, 02:16 PM

I play a home game most weeks, it's for small stake but 1st prize is typically $400. That's as big as people want to gamble playing No limit.

I used to run a card night years ago at my house, but I won too often and everyone stopped attending.

We've *never* had AA versus KK at our home game BTW. Or big set versus small set. Although my AA has been beaten a few times by lesser pairs.

You must not play very much. I've seen set vs set live more than a handful of times and AA vs KK has happened more then enough times. I'm not saying they are common occurances but they happen.

There's no question this is a gimmick. It became obv about half-way through (mission accomplished, OG --original gimmick--you got me to read over half the thread). No hand histories, tiny post numbers, bagging on multi-tablers, etc. However, the leveling and releviling was impressive.

insyder19 · #**119** 07-10-2007, 02:30 PM

I always have swings like that on full tilt. But its the same on every site. Just swings.

I have played maybe 1% of the hands I played online at home and we had house v s straight a few times. Preflop hands like AA vs AK vs QQ, AA vs JJ etc

The last 7 times I've either had AA or KK on stars 6 handed cash tables someone else has had either AA or KK. EVERY TIME. Tell me how rare that is. Online poker is rigged for increased rake probabilities. Its just sometimes your on the AA end, sometimes on the KK end.
