Re: How can I explain to ppl that online sites are not rigged?

Your friend will lose that hand about 2% of the time, which sounds miniscule, but one out of 50 does still happen, just not very often.

Ask your friend if he realised he lost this often. Obviously A A is a pretty uncommon way to lose, 3 4 or 4 3 is much more common.
Exactly what happened at Absolute is unclear and is the subject of an "independent audit" (read coverup, probably). Basically two guys who were pretty high up in the company used internal tools to view opponents hole cards and cheated customers out of over a million dollars.
The site is still running because why wouldn't they be? Most of their customers simply didn't read about it. There are no legal repercussions because the US's ban on online gambling services pushed the site to Costa Rica, where the rule of law barely functions. Nice work, land of the free!
