i'm out.

i can't change anyone's faith nor would i want to.

and that's what this thread wound up being about. you either believe there is a on-line poker business model built on the inevitability of profits raking a high traffic site or you are conspiracy guy.

and i'll stop banging my head against the wall arguing with conspiracy guy.

we're even btw.

Just read through the thread, I miust say I find the thoughts interesting. I've started to play online poker (both for money and for fun) over the last few months.

One thing I have noticed on many of the sites is that the people who bet most hands usually keep getting nice cards. As if the site is saying, the more hands you play the better your cards will get.

Of course, this could be luck, but I've seen it so many times. I played a tournament last week and this one guy must have bet at least 75% of the hands. He never lost the chip lead.

On betfair poker, me and a few friends have commented that whoever has the chip lead after usually continues to get very good cards.

I've been done with a set of Kings on the river. I had pocket kings and put in a fair size bet pre flop. I had two takers. Flop came out 7K2, I was over the moon with that flop, made a substantial bet, first player folded and the next raised me all in. I thought for a while..... I was like "well, he can't be in front" I expected him to have pocket 7s or pocket 2's. I call. Cards come down, he has A7....... so i'm like "wtf".... turn comes down ACE..... hmmmm, I was busy thinking about chances of an ace on the river..... river card also an ACE!! full house aces over sevens beating my set of kings.

This guy either had no clue what he was doing or knew he would get paid off in the end. It was like he was the one with the big hand at the flop.

I've been beaten after betting flops going all in with others on the same website where they have needed both cards to make a flush or stragitht.It has happened three or four times now.

It's a bit more than lucky for their point of view.
