Poker Forum by Poker is Rigged

I am happy to announce that it is currently around the one-year anniversary since I quit playing online poker for money. And now I'll share my most memorable story. I’ve played on several sites and I believe they are all rigged. I always tried to keep an open mind about it, thinking oh maybe all the bad beats just seemed like they happen too often since online play is much faster than live. I started on partypoker, and after a while I became convinced it was rigged so I tried other sites. I briefly tried pokerstars, but left because I didn’t like the layout of it. Then I landed at Bodog. I started out making money, just like everyone else, and said “hey! I found a job that pays $50/hr.” Unfortunately that didn’t last long. I noticed that everytime I won money, soon after I would lose more. So one day, I played a few cheap cash games…raked in $33. As soon as I won that money, I left and told myself I would not play for a few days (to see if that would affect the potential win/lose rig). The next day I was bored and said, “okay, I’ll just one play nickel/dime cash game and I’ll play tight as a rock so I don't lose anything”. After an hour, I turned $10 into $13 something–wow that’s bad. I would watch the other players at my table win money, but I couldn’t buy a decent hand. Some guy doubles up through JJ. I said to myself “why don’t I ever get Jacks? It’s been an hour!” The very next hand I get JJ. No joke. I do the usual trap, call in early position, wait for a preflop raise, then push all-in. This was a VERY loose table (being nickel/dime obviously). I got two callers. They both had AJ! Flop came and an Ace right there gave them both the check mark. I was angry, but I still had like $8 left. Next hand, AA. I’m like, well I’ll just go all-in since these idiots are loose and it’ll look like I’m just tilting. Everyone folds and it’s to the big blind, who has about $5 left. He calls and turns over 79 offsuit! WTF I said! Then I thought, “wow, I bet I lose this hand” flop was 10 5 3 turn: 6 river: 8. I’m like this is unbelievable!! As if that is bad enough, the very next hand, I kid you not, KK!!!!! This time I type in the chat “I have KK, might as well call me and take my remaining $3″ I get called by 78clubs and the guy rivers a flush and my $10 is gone. Three consecutive top 10 hands were beat by trash hands. The odds of those hands losing three times in a row: .8% , but that doesn’t figure the odds of getting JJ AA KK one after the other. That made me quit. And if any Bodog programmers are out there, I would advise you to fix your programming so it’s not so obvious. So now I play playmoney and retarded as that is. I’m almost tempted to open up another real money account, play like an idiot, make money, then just quit before they take it back.

I am glad to hear that you have overcame and succesfully beaten the problem of online gambling. You can lose so much on this so it is good to hear that it is no longer a worry for you.

It is great that you overcame your addiction problem and have left gambling behind. Your story was pretty good, I'll say but I still do not believe any of the places are actually rigged. Luck just does not swing your way at times.
