Ive been playing a long time, and ive finally concluded that it is indeed fixed. No doubt at all. If you do it, play it live like I will.

There are patterns to the cards, and if poker skill was the deciding factor, then good poker players would clean up, and poor ones would quit.

The elephant in every online poker room is that second hands win 70 80 per cent of the time which is not kosher. I read somewhere that pokerstars weight hands in favour of second hands,....

which means its fixed. Good poker players would clean up and poor poker players would quit, meaning fewer players.

If Algorythms can show poker hands averages, why shouldn't they use that to stream players? Then theres huds and computer wotsits to show averages at a glance. Whats the point?

With live poker its not machine against machine, the deal is fair, and its human v human.

Having said that, I still have money on pokerstars, private games are possible. Anyone fancy a few hands?
