Default What to do if you suspect a site of being rigged

Hi
I've been playing on the net for a while and am a constant winner on low/mid stakes games. Been playing on stars and party and doing well, but I started playing on another site and i've become convinced that its rigged. Playing on cash games I get amazing luck in some pots and then just get sucked out on every time, I think the site is rigged to make sure theres lots of money in the pot for the rake.

Problem is this: apart from not playing there, what can I do about it? is there some kind of statistical analasis that can be done with hands? and how would i go about this?

This is a big company and if they are rigged i'd like to try to hit them as hard as possible, but really don't wanna go round sounding like the typical 'all net poker is rigged' type, because most of the sites aren't rigged, just the bad ones give everyone else a bad name

you cant do anything, just stop playing there.

The site most likely isnt rigged and you just dont understand probability and arent very good at poker. Just keep working on your game and play somewhere you are confident its legit.

Buy loads of computers, open every table and track every hand. Do this for 15 years then come back and tell us the results.

I don't believe the site is rigged but I am curious as to what type of resolution you were hoping to get assuming you could prove it?

If you tell us which site it is, there are bound to be some other losers here who will give us their opinions on it, too.

That way, everyone will benefit.

If I truly thought a site was rigged I just would not play there anymore. I think in the first year or so someone plays poker online many of us have had thoughts that it might be rigged. Then, somewhere along the way(depending on how much you play) you see enough hands to realize that it is just variance. Good Luck.

When I played at FT for 5 months, I lost enough times to wonder if the site rigged the cards after the flop. So I left and never went back to FT. I think that is all anyone can do. PT can track opening hands, but it cannot really track the outcome of hands after the flop versus the odds of winning.
I track such results for my large hands, 80 x big blind. This year I have run about where I should if not a little better.

Step one: get a roll of film for an avatar and make a long awaited first OP at 2+2.

Alternative step one: hand shaking avatar and reply to someone else's OP.

step two: ???

step three: profit.
