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



I was winning, $7800 at highest point. Then crash to $2000 in 5 days.

Before people accuse me of being a donkey, here are some of the worst hands that cost most of the money

Me : A8...make AA888 by river. There is a a flush on the board, I am sure I have the winner.
Villain : AAA88. Yes, he had AA and made a bigger full house
Pot : $2400

----------------
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

---------

These are just some examples of what's going on, there's more but I don't want to bore you.

My 1st question is this : am I being rigged by Full Tilt???!!

My 2nd question : should I withdraw my $2000 (all profit, I withdrew my initial $1300 stake previously) and go and try to find a cash game? My problem is the nearest big cash game is 270 miles away.

My 3rd question : If I am being rigged, should I withdraw the $2K and neteller it to Pokerstars?

My objective of playing cash game is to generate $25K. That is $5K bankroll and $20K for my 2008 WSOP Main event ticket + expenses.

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.

Being rigged is you by Full Tilt. Ask money back you should.

I'd like to believe this as it's the only cash game I can play conveniently.
