I'm sure that most sites are totally above board especially the UK sites owned by bookies etc. Think you have to find a site you trust, a game u like at the right level and watch what time u play. Then u have to be in the right frame of mind, with no family committments.... Hold on its almost impossible! maybe I should just go back to freerolls and treat poker as a social pastime - maybe no bad thing.

Bout all I can say about all this is to watch the players and not the site. Players are the only ones cheating and Monkey Players will be found at all levels of buyins. Dave's blog could be a comment here so if ya have not read it, now would be a good time. Watch yourself Lippy because "They" are watching you.

I have noticed the bad beats usually happen at cetain times of the day and can possibly be attributed to the increasing popularity of online poker. New people sign up for a site after watching Negranu et all and think they can win by playing any 2 cards. Then there are the drunks playing when its late evening in their country who again play any 2 cards believing (like you do when drunk) that you will hit your gutshot on the river! With so many countries playing in different time scales there will always be drunks playing from somewhere. Remember hearing a few years ago how the UK poker pros were getting up at 4am to play drunk Americans. But it could be our fault.For example I put in a big raise thinking there is no way they can call or generally trying some sort of move which against new or drunk players just goes right over their heads. Then there are some wierd poker theory books out there that suggests making huge raises in the position no matter who your playing against or what their card are. I have noticed in sit n go's that if I recognise most of the players sitting at the table that generally the game will be decent and I'll finish in the money but at a table full of unknowns the game is usually crazy with these horendous bad beats. Then of course there is all this poker tracker type software getting used on some sites it lets the other players see the cards you mucked on the previous hand- surely unfair. Who knows the answers? I'm having a break from poker just now. When I come back I'm going to start a diary like a professional gambler does. I'm interested where i'm winning and losing- for example what sites do I win more, at what stakes, with how many players, and at what time of day, with what blind levels? I find it hard to believe that a regulated site could be cheating but then again I've not heard of one being found out - surely only a matter of time! Interesting theories guys and gals!

Codes exist in any software written. These codes are necessary for the software writers to modify them if there is a problem with the program, or if one developes. The temptation to profit from this possibility is tentamount to Catholic priests in a parish full of young men.

The whole premise that they run a tweaked RNG makes no logical sense? Lippy come on.. lol Yah really think they are monitoring your posts on forums?

Thanks for clearing that up. I will now assume that there is no such thing as a polotician who is corruptable. Or an official who can "look the other way". Or a professional athlete who doesn't have a huge gambling debt and throws the game. Or and especially, a judge who can't be paid to soften if not completely throw out penalties of illegal acts from "big money" Well gee. Thanks for clearing that up.
