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

You aren't being rigged in any way or fashion.

Take a look at the breakeven graph thread going on and you'll feel much better about this whole ordeal.

You are definitely getting rigged. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Poker sites would obviously benefit if they picked a few players at random to rig, so that those players would lose their money to other players. Don't you see?

You have a few options here as I see it.

- You could get another account at FTP and hope that it doesn't get selected to be rigged.
- You could move to Stars and hope they don't give you a rigged account.
- You could cash out and go play at casinos where you can't get rigged and will therefore win.



Also, a big LOL to everyone who says $7600 isn't enough to play 5/10 NL. Maybe you guys missed the part where OP said he can only sit with $1,000 and he uses the rest to top off. Or maybe you guys don't understand that it would be almost impossible to go on a 7 buyin downswing unless you happened to start getting rigged in which case you'd lose ANY size bankroll.

None of these are even particularly bad beats, seeing as you were never ahead in any of these hands. You got excited when you made hands or were drawing to big hands, and you never considered that your opponents might have made better hands than you did.

I don't think Full Tilt is rigged. I go on weird streaks of bad beats there, but then I almost always make up for them with lucky streaks of my own. For example, last night I had KK cracked by 77 and AA cracked by TT early in the evening. But later on, I cracked KK with 43o by hitting a straight and then beat AA with AK by hitting a straight. For me, luck always seems to even out on Full Tilt.

Now, Ultimate Bet is a completely different story. That site is [censored] rigged!!

The villain bets the flop. I called. Villain checks turn. I bet/he calls. Villain checks river. By this point I have made two pair 9s and 8s. I bet. Villain calls with bigger two pair. Pot : $352

-----------
I have a gut shot straight, need a 6. Small bet on the turn from villain, I call as it's cheap and may be a pop at the pot with nothing. Turn a blank, another small bet from villain. I call. River a 6. I've made a straight! Great. Villain bets $100 into pot, I re-raise him all in.....he flips over a full boat (he needed the 6 to make a boat).

Pot : $479

---------

I have a straight draw, straight flush draw and flush draw on 4th street. I move the short stack all in. He flips top pair and weak kicker. I miss my draw totally.

Pot $654

I mean how can you say he's not getting rigged?! Hand 1 is sick, 2 pair vs. 2 pair - that does not happen in real life. Only in your imaginary fake world of online "poker" where the cards aren't real.

Hand 2 - obviously rigged. Villain had what, a set, before the river? OP had a gutshot straight draw. And I gaurantee he doesn't call the river with just a gutshot so they rig it so he hits his straight. Only it's the 1 card in the deck that gives villain a better hand. Ridiculous.

Hand 3 - he had 3 draws. a flush draw, a straight draw, and a straight flush draw. It's the 3rd draw that is key, as when you have only a flush and straight draw you are an underdog (unless they make small bets like in hand 2), but when you have a flush draw, a straight draw, AND a straight flush draw, you are a favorite. I count 38 cards that could help OP and 4 that couldn't, and yet 1 of those 4 come on the river.

Tell me the odds of that and then tell me he's not being rigged.
