Are you suspicious of internet poker being rigged?

You should be. I had a long holiday weekend to play tons of hours and confirm everything I've already known.

First of all, this is supposedly an interface to have real people match their skills. Secondly, the site should supposedly present a decent experience by their hosting software not allowing others to do things that can't be done. Especially if you've been around for years.

So, Absolute Poker decided to vault into the lead of bad poker sites when I played a Hold'em sit ad go when a player was removed because "they didn't enter the game in the first round" or some such nonsense. Oh, come on, please. The game wouldn't have even started without him being one of the table players. And the chat at the table was...weird for the very least. Two fisherman friends hooked up at the same table. They were kicking everyone's butt to kingdom come. Chatting away like this was the greatest experience they've ever had. I'm determined to fold and watch the bad movie...one of the fisher's wife/significant other messages him as an observer on getting him coffee.

Coffee? Let me get this. She doesn't live with you, and she's watching you play. OK, not out of the realm of reason. Even though you could probably sit out one freaking hand and brew yourself a cup. Or she's in another room of the house and you're playing on separate computers and she's going to brew you a cup. That's a freaking close relationship.

And, since I'm long ago suppossed to be dead, I'm not supposed to see that these two fisher chip leaders just stop talking to each other. Weird. And stupid.

NLOP want's a crack at the worst, too. Login -2000 points, survey 500 points, question of the day 100 points. For a total of 2,600 points that becomes 3000 when I sit at the table. And after already being suspicious I fold every hand until it's a three player game watching the "player that can't lose" clean up the table.

Think about it. How do you get in a sit ad go and fold every freaking hand and win second? Unless.......

the cards were rigged and the chip leader virtually could't lose and you were smart enough to avoid it.

And on Ultimatebet....things are just the same old crap. I nuked my huge chip stack and continue to play on the lame blacjack tables. Where I don't care about my chips. I just like to watch you lose your chips.

And watch my bad dog sleep. And....bored now. A little bogus chess would be good. Because that, like every internet game is rigged.
