Here are my slightly more in depth thoughts....

I know a few people who work in the industry. As in for the sites. And I know for A FACT (Ive been shown) that older sites are blatently rigged. Jetset, PokerHost, those kind of sites. So are most of the old casinos. winnings not being paid, %'s changed.

But, the point in question here is Stars. Is Stars rigged?

Yes. But not much. I fully believe that lower raked table are not, for these is no point. Change your game list to show all full tables, and see how many there are. They are making millions (literally) off the rake.

However as you go up things change. I took stats on Chris Moneymaker in our session. Which ended when he ****ed me. He was either running hotter THAN THE SUN, or something was up.

Hand history is similar (exact) to this.

Me (BB) - AK diamonds.
Moneymaker (Button) - xx

Preflop - $5/$10 blinds. Both sat with around $2k.

Folds to moneymaker. He raised to $35. SB Folds. I raise to $105.

Moneymaker reraises to $275. I call.

Flop A J 6. I bet $400. He shoves. I call.

I show my AK. He shows.... J6.

Turn 2 River 4.

Yes this is only one hand. But my point is, its a $4,000+ hand. And I believe to this day I played the hand perfectly. This is not a cooler. It wasnt AA JJJ. Or A K J 6 6 on the board. Its just the only flop I go broke on.

Go figure that out
