Funny read. I never signed up to that forum but read it often. Am real tempted to sign up now just to berate OP.

LOL!
I like the he talks about the "5th ace" incident when everyone knows that it was clearly photoshopped. The aces on the board don't even line up.

Glad I read that though definitely worth the time IMO

What he details is exactly the way any site might cheat with some measure of safety. There was a poster here with a 10K plus post total that believed exactly the same thing after his own research.

heh, that thread is pretty good insight into how your typical fish thinks and views online poker.

That said tho, I pretty much agree with what he said. It's called Riverstars for a reason.

Another reason I might be having bad luck is simply because I am not putting enough money on to start with. I always play low stakes (never higher than 25/50c blinds) because I have never put more than $60 dollars to start with. I have turned $60 into $500 before (!!!!!!!!!!). But overall I get called by terrible cards with the nut straight after the flop and lose to 4 of a kind or a full house on some ubsurd turn and river.

Incredibly frustrating when I know I am the better player. I don't know what some people are thinking when they make these calls.
