If you guys think the constant rigged posts on forums are overwhelming your head would explode if you sat in a CS chair for one day.

ok, the first post sounded like you work as a CS. Then be glad that your CS handles these types of players well and forces them to return.

Because then the house would have an interest in the outcome of the hand. That is bad.

Slight hijack: Anyone think Stars or Tilt would consider implementing a "run it twice" option in cash games? I suppose it'd slow down games a bit too much, perhaps it could be used at 10/20NL or higher where the money matters more?

Won't happen. It will slow the games down too much, and that means less money for them.

LOL double-losing AA against 72 on a A22 flop would induce ultra-tilt resulting in a real insulation and many damaged things and random people [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]


Anyway on average it would lover variance (tilt, gambol, enjoyment) = it's bad for poker.
Basically anything that prevents the fish to win huuuuuge at least occasionally is a big no no for any hazard game.

What if they changed like .25 or something for it. Although you give up a small amount of equity, reducing risk must have some value.
