Online Poker isnt rigged



However I have watched the Fulltilt tournament that was on Thanksgiving about 3
times and it was the first time that I can remember seeing a sampling of hands
in which you can see each players hole cards for every hand.

There were very few times when two players both floped top pair. Two players
never made a flush on the same hand, no pairs TT or better vs a larger pair.

I have never said that online poker is rigged and I still dont think it is.
There have been 3 tournaments (that I know of) that have been live, and each
time it seems that these situations that occur so frequently online don't show
up on the live tournaments that we see the hole cards for each player each hand.


The night that this tournament aired there were several people saying that this
is proof that online poker is rigged with action flops. I took the time to watch
the show several times before making any comments about it, and it certainly
does seem fishy.

On pokerstars they have the final table replay (of some tournament, not sure
which) and I am anxious to see if these situations occur frequently. I think
they will but I haven't watched it yet.
