German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rigged.
 

... in an interview.

LOL, first off: Its about "Opaaufpoka" or "Mark the muck" (= 2p2 accounts). Most hate him, some like him, I stopped caring... BUT ... this is just way too hilarious.

Apparently this is a German pokermagazine and they did an interview with him. Here is the original link but its obviously in German (http://www.pokern.com/forum/poker-...) so I made a quick translation for you guys.






Bluff: Mr. "OpaaufPoka", could you briefly explain who you are?

Opaaufpoka: My realname is Mark (24) and Im going to college. I started out playing poker roughly one year ago, since then Im known as Opaaufpoka on the internet.

B.: ...and you turned into the typical highroller, beating the highest limits and having locked up your first million?

OaP: No, not at all. I play the microlimits exlcusively because online poker is rigged. Every now and then I enjoy destroying the NL600 donks, but after that I cash out immediately. Theyre not gonna fool me.

B.: What do you mean by "rigged"?

OaP: Its simple: The online casinos live off the rake we pay; rake is paid in big pots. Big pots happen when good starting hands match with a good board. Online I dont even want to play KK anymore, cause I know somebody´s got aces or the set.

B.: Pretty bold thesis. Why are these online casinos so popular then?

OaP: Because nobody in particular is having a disadvantage. People chalk the extreme swings to "variance" and say "thats poker".

B.: Isnt that quite right?

OaP: No, its not. Its not poker when every 10 hands you run with one monster into another. He who plays live poker will know what real poker is like. There your kings will hold and having quads isnt an everyday experience.

B.: But live you get dealt a lot less hands.

OaP: True, but Im taking that into account already. People who play live (like me) since one year will notice the difference. Live, I have never had quads, a straight flush or a royal flush. I have seen them maybe 3 or 4 times, but thats it. When there is a 3bet in a casino we jokingly say "Careful! Internet-hand!"


Rest of the interview is about why people actually know this person and other random stuff.




again, its not about flaming, hating or feeding the trolls here. I just found it hilarious and wanted to share... and Im probably gonna kill somebody if this gets printed.

Why didn't they ask him if he knew the German Juggernaut?

Also, I'd like to hear his theory on games that routinely pay the max rake by simply seeing a flop.

Wow, hilarious and great response! Way to go you original trend-setter!

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

Isnt there a cap on the rake anyway in the higher limits on certain sites? Meaning after a certain amount it doesnt matter how big the potsize is...

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

some people never quite understand that what is written in an OP is not always their personal view

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

this guy is a [censored] moron, who even admits that he only plays microlimits because he cannot win a [censored].

I can't believe they post such a [censored], probably a site full with donkeys.

yup, rake is capped practically every pot at the higher limits, so maybe they only rig the microlimits this troll can't beat [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rigged.
 

The guy sounds like a freak and a very weird dude.

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rigged.
 

what makes this guy interview worthy?
i'm thinking its not his poker skills

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

wait! this is really true? i thought the article was a bluff itself!

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

TBH, Opaaufpoka/Mark the muck is the only 2+2er I really really dislike. His ignorance tilts me so much and he only has like 150 posts...

In other news, some donks playing 10nl on Stars right now.

@OP
great idea to give an attn whore attn. plz keep that bs in gbbv where i dont have to read it. plzkthxbaii

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

Opaaufpoka/Mark the muck is a complete donk. He has never done anything but lie and exaggerate, making youtube videos about himself. Where was the thread where he was showing a picture of his balla car that turned out to be a picture found on the internet? His HU play vs exameter was laughable too. The weird thing to me is that most compulsive liar/attention whores typically vanish or change names after they've been outed as being totally FOS, but not Opa. I think this is where I first saw him, claiming to be some famous poker player in Germany:

I'm glad that man is doing gods good work.

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

OP, You forgot to translate the best part of the Interview:

He mentions that he won a HU match vs. George Danzer and the interviewer asks him:

Did you play with the 3 PAIR RULE?

OpaaufPoka: (laughs)No, of course not. The 3 pair rule isn't official, yet. But I will do everything to make it an official rule in the coming years.

WTF? Is he high? 6 card poker? Did he come up with that all by himself? Zee Germanz are indeed freaky and very weird...

Bluff: Wurde da schon mit der 3-Pärchen Regel gespielt?

OpaaufPoka: (lacht) Nein nein,natürlich nicht. Die 3-Pärchen Regel ist noch inoffziell. Ich werde aber alles tun damit diese Regel in den nächsten Jahren offizielles Pokerreglement wird.

Opa himself is the one who posted the interview in the link given, so this whole thing could be yet another one of his tall tales. Is there anything to substantiate this interview at all, anywhere?

Re: German law student (and 2p2 troll) claims that online poker is rig
 

just to make sure everybody understands:

bluff did not interview him, cause they never heard of him. he just made this up to appear interesting and famous. this is too serious to go down in multi-leveling
