This isn't unexpected as other than this blog and tiny little spots of complaints if one Googles something like "Internet Poker is Rigged" or "I got cheated at Internet poker" before the US Justice Department shut down the search almost unanimously returned results calling the allegations ludicrous and the poster an idiot. I've posted one of my favorite links here. Amusing because their picture isn't even for PokerStars, Full Tilt or Absolute. It's Paradise Poker. Which my experience has shown to be just as bad as the rest of them. Another favorite is the news source that made a claim something like this -
"Let me clarify this. These sites aren't illegal. Other countries than the US let you play for real money."
Well, let me clarify it. It's illegal because a law was passed in 2006 making it so. If your journalistic integrity, or lack thereof, can't recognize the association between the words "law" and "legal" then you pretty much don't have a case for support of your article. Needless to say the comments were aall anti-US Government for meddling in our affairs to do what we please, ignoring the fact that it's in one's best interst to not lose money on Internet Poker and instead get malware loaded on your machine by searching out Asian hotties on the Net.
The real problem with Internet Poker is the continued abuse of it not being a level playing field, which is even portrayed abundantantly on the free money games. PokerStars still hasn't figured out its own Time Bank rules. And over -aggressive players continue to get a pair of Aces twice within a span of five hands. And if PokerStars werer independently audited and controlled by a reputable source they would know I'm not making this up.
But this continues to be an Area 51 conspiracy theory and that won't happen it's just my word against theirs. And I trust my screenshots are a little more convincing then them saying, "Take my word for it because I told you so."
