Here’s a nice little blog post that takes a similar (to my own) but different approach to the question of whether or not online poker is rigged. Basically inkedmn does the math and comes to the conclusion that the trouble outweighs the risk. Also, inkedmn seems to be a software developer and in contrast to [...]

Idiot for a Day On several previous occasions I have discussed the flaws in the arguments of those who claim that online poker is rigged. Just to demonstrate the absurdity of some of these arguments, I’ve selected a juicy one from the old comments bag. Joe comments: Well this argument about online honesty is a [...]

I’m not sure whether it’s funny or sad that even after my post on why online poker is not rigged, I still get people emailing me trying to convince me otherwise. The funny/sad part is that despite the fact that I’ve all but called people who make that claim without hand histories or other empirical [...]

My soon to be co-worker, Ephro, sent me the following that he lifted from an un-named message board (I assume): I hear many people talk about “Poker Tracker” program (or other similar type programs), who’s to say that these programs are not also set up so that they dont show any thing is wrong. It’s [...]

I was a tad surprised to find a post from poker professional and noted poker author Lou Krieger titled “Who is the dumber son of a bitch” this morning but it really is a funny read. It sums up the insanity of those who claim online poker is rigged. Of course, Mr. Krieger puts it [...]

I’ve updated my page on why online poker is not rigged but I thought I would highlight it here so as to offer a chance for counter-arguments. I recently saw someone argue that one cannot prove online poker is not rigged. This person is correct. However, one can prove it to be rigged very easily. [...]

In this post I will attempt to address every argument I’ve ever heard regarding online poker being rigged. Mind you, I do work for a company that develops online poker software but my motivation is not to convince people to trust *my* employer’s software, rather it is to have a central place where people can [...]

One can hardly read any poker forum without running across individuals claiming that this or that site is rigged. Usually they are humiliated with the forum “experts” rudely telling them that the reason they’re losing is because they aren’t good poker players. I’m sad to say that I used to be one of those “experts.” [...]

About Bill’s Poker Blog 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.
After Party Poker I spent two years living in Thailand and travelling around South East Asia. I'm currently working at the World Poker Tour in Irvine, Ca. working on exciting projects taking online poker to the next level.
