The Death of Poker Media?

Proof That Online Poker Is Rigged!
Zynga Ready for Real Money Gaming or Trying to Hide Failures?I was donking around on the online felt this weekend and was at a very, very aggressive limit table. It wasn’t uncommon to see 6 people in a capped pre-flop pot. I pick up 88 in EP with a limper in front of me and limp as I know that it’s going to get raised behind me, my raise isn’t going to drive anyone out, and if I hit a flop I’m going to make a mint.
Flop comes:
83x
Checked to me and I bet. Like I said, I’m not killing any action at this table. I’m getting called by any overs and maybe popped for a raise by ace high. I get a caller and a raise behind me. It ends up getting capped on the flop.
8
I check and the guy to my left bets. LP calls. I raise, the original bettor re-raises, LP folds and we cap the turn.
River is a blank.
I bet and the guy to my left raises.
Should I fold here? He has to have a pretty strong hand here.
Just kidding.
I raise, we cap the river and he shows pocket threes for a boat.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
