Poker Tracker statistics say nothing about whether or not an online poker site is rigged or not. In other words, it could be rigged or not, and the Poker Tracker statistics would still be the same. Let me explain.

The chance of getting aces would still show (in Poker Tracker) to be 220:1 but this doesn’t mean it’s not rigged, because this is an AVERAGE OVERALL STATISTIC FOR ALL PLAYERS. IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT HOW OFTEN ACES GET CRACKED, IT JUST TELLS US HOW OFTEN ACES ARE DEALT. Does Poker Tracker tell us how often the good players loose with aces? NO. Does poker tracker tell us how often a good player loses with a set to runner runner straights? NO. Instances are recorded but there is no way to group those instances. End of story.

The only way to really tell if a really good player is losing because of “rigged” handicaps is to take a very large sample, at least 50,000 hands, and track their success. So if they are winning at first and suddenly encounter 3 months of bad beats, and their VPIP% PFR and AF suggest they are still a winning player at their stakes, then there is some good evidence that online poker is rigged. The thing is, people rarely use this kind of evidence in their argument that poker is not rigged.

Doesnt anyone remember the school years when the math teachers would take all calculators away before testing?

You have to trust your gut instincts, add those odds and outs in your head become a human calculator its not hard.

The more you do it the easier. To be honest, I’d much rather play agianst a cheap program then I would a seasoned poker professional who has the true nutz.
