Guys.
With my insider knowledge it's time to come clean and do the right thing now.
He's right, poker is totes rigged. Time to move on to pastures new.
Sorry for taking so long.
Regards,
Gary.

Ok, you guys are entitled to your opinions as well. However my PT3 and PT4, as well as HM show a different story. It shows a huge number of hands but the fish get lucky way to often to be realistic. For example lets use his sample size of 10000 online vs 10000 offline. The fish get lucky way more often online than offline.
could you please post a picture which shows at least for one fish, how much the fish won (or at least didnt lose money) ? And the sample should be > 10k hands to avoid huge variance.
OK, I've had my fun.
Get real people. If you HONESTLY believe it is rig then you must be insane to even play.
There are only 2598960 different poker hands, but there but there are 8 x 10^67 different ways to arrange the 52 cards of a deck, so there are a LOT of different ways to distribute the hand to 6 players.The highest hand # in my database is 130,589,896,590 or 1.3 x 10^11.
Assuming no duplicates at all, in the expected lifetime of the universe, PokerStars will never get around to dealing them all.Yup, must be rigged.
i am not sure if you are trying to say with this that poker is not rigged, if so, it is even less of a proof comparing to what "software engineer" proved in his video. Having that many possible arranged cards, doesn't mean that poker is not rigged. They can really make it rigged if they would want to. They could arrange that only some players are winning more, and some players win less than what it is fare, but in average over all players, distributions could look still ok. And if they would really only slightly change the odds for some players, there is no way to prove that they do it (unless looking at their source code), because you can always blame variance. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying poker is rigged, just wanted to say that if it would be rigged, there is no way to prove it, unless you look at their source code, or if they would rig it so extreme that it is obvious even on smaller sample.
