Brilliant AP comments on Digg
 
Anyone surprised? I mean really? Who is stupid enough to throw money away on these stupid things?


online poker kind of takes away the point of poker


I don't play the video poker machines at the casinos because they cheat, why would I play poker on line?


Dude, we're all computer nerds in here. We don't really believe in the poor man's tax, or the tax for people who aren't good with basic statistics also known as gambling. The House always ends up winning in the end, best not to start playing.


Maaaatt Daaamon. (Most Diggs)


Anybody who knows anything about programming should know better than to play on online poker sites.


This is like asking the government to protect drug smugglers from rival gangs. To internet gamblers: either be the best cheater or stfu.


Seems like someone who got beat suspects he was cheated. Guess his pocket aces got cracked.


Something sortof like this happened to me on pokerstars, except I have no way to prove anything. basically, I was playing in one of the free tournaments (I don't like wasting money on online poker, but playing is fun sometimes). A guy who I sat at a table with went all in every hand, and he ended up winning about 19/20 of the hands. He eventually got knocked out through his antics, but that was a no money game. The next week, I checked out the leader board for the million dollar tournament, and he was #2. Could be coincidence...


Intertops Poker is a site that I always suspected of cheating. I have seen many questionable hands. Been involved in a few too. Like calling an all in after a long long pause and hitting 2 runners to win the hand. Oh well, lesson learned.


This wont' change anything, EVERYONE who goes to even real life casinos KNOW the casinos make money and they are destined to lose. yet they still gamble and feel they can win.. no matter what the odds are against someone they always feel they are special and can come out on top.. you could say in the tournament lobby (One player in this tournament may be able to see everyone's hole cards) and i guarantee you the tourney woudl still fill up lol


Online has, and always will be rigged. They seem so shady in terms of ownership, software updates, and players. "action software"


So is anyone actually surprised by this because if you are you need to go ever basic statistics and probability again. Casinos make tons of money because the odds will never ever ever ever be in your favor. Especially the machines. What, did you think those machines were designed to give out free money. Honestly people.

It's amazing how otherwise smart people fail to comprehend why poker is a +EV game if played properly, specifically because poker players are not playing against the house.

I'd be surprised if most of them knew what rake was, to be honest. Heck, many probably think poker = caribbean stud or 3 card poker or whatever fun-to-play-but-negative-EV house games casinos have going.
