yeah he just had one of those "I suck at poker" epiphany, or, more likely, he is licking his wounds and preparing his counterattack "those graphs are rigged/fake"

I have had a look at the graphs. And quite frankly they havent changed my opinion about it being rigged.

Sure there seems to be winning players but over a month, are there graphs that say cover longer e.g. a year?

The point of the rigging accusation is that you will win to start or after you have deposited etc, but gradually the sites will take back those winnings.

Another point is that people who are willing to bother to post graphs will be more inclined to do so when they are winning and not when they are losing.

1 month of graphs is just too small a time frame to prove they are consistently winning.

I didnt actually see that many that were winning, and out of the thousands of people that use this forum i would expect (if not rigged) to see a lot more.

Of course anyone could edit the graphs very easily if they wanted to, and pokersites employees could add graphs aswell.

This was obviously the wrong place to post, and it seems as i am preaching to the converted, but it is posted elsewhere and i seem to have alot more people agreeing with me there.

Time is irrelevant. It's the number of hands you play.

I'm sure there's no way to prove it to you, then. If you honestly think online poker is rigged, stop playing.

Just a rough estimate, but I'm guessing he lost all 18 brain cells he began with

I have not lost much at all. In fact i would say i have gained money through online poker, not in the sites themselves but learning to play good poker and using it in B&M casinos, where is the only place you know is fair.

But just because i dont have blind faith and trust everyone, doesnt mean im stupid, in fact its generally the people who question things that can think for themselves are more intelligent than people who dont and just believe what ever is told to them.

No one seems to have answered sensibily to the original question would you trust Jack?

Well of course no one would trust Jack. And if you put "Full Tilt" or whoever in the place of "Jack" in your story, no one would trust them, either. But your story is fiction. That's why no one is answering your question; because your little work of fiction is completely irrelevant to reality.

The majority of us believing the games are fair is not from "blind faith." We have played millions of hands collectively, and we have believe it to be fair from our experience. If your experience is different, feel free to quit. That's fine, too.

Also... I am by far not one of the best players on this forum, and I am up 25K in the last two years. Consistent winners do exist.
