I know that most of these are more or less a coinflip but put them togther and it's ridiculous. This is when it got to heads up in my weekly home game (run like an sng). Each of the 6 players start with 200 in chips and you can by back in once.

HAND ONE

Stebs - 1655 in chips
Andy - 145 in chips (on the button)

SB = 20
BB = 40

dealt to stebs

Andy calls the blind and raises 105 all in. Stebs calls 105.

I don't think I should ever play pocket pairs. If I just layed them all down pre-flop I'm sure I would make more money.

Yeah. This is definitely rigged.

I said in the title. All but the last one I realise are 50-50 but to put a short stack all-in 4 times on pockets vs. overcards and lose everytime is not normal. Plus running cards to make a full house in the last hand. You don't consider this a bad beat?

No. It is well within the mathematical odds for this to happen. Now show it over 10,000 hands and I will wonder what is going on. Essentially what I am saying is that you appear to be making a point. The point would seem to be that it is rigged correct? Or at least that there is something NOT RIGHT going on?

If you are just ranting then welcome to the club. If you are complaining that online poker is rigged then well...we have a club for that as well.

I'm not saying it's rigged. It's not even online poker. I saw the cards shuffled and dealt with my own eyes. I'm just a little pissed off is all.

Well that explains it! See it takes 7 shuffles to properly mix a deck. Something tells me that 7 shuffles were not done! Online poker is better cause every hand is like playing with a brand new fully shuffled deck.

So what I am getting at is that LIVE poker is rigged.


Welcome to the forums by the way.
