hands but it's every hand online. They get limit rake every chance they can. Short stacks survive on a dwindling table. Oh my god have I seen this come true on ACR. With the amount of information that came out with the ultimate bet scandal, the full tilt scandal, etc. you are absolutely desperate if you play poker online. Casinos have always done whatever they can get away with and couple that with hidden casinos where the people in charge get to hide more than they traditionally do, with games of chance being their product/alibi, you are bull s h I t ting yourself if you don't think they want to rob you. Look, there had to be a bunch of teenage/20 year old phenoms around to promote the sites and get other people hooked. For every 1 person that got rich off of it though, 10,000+ lost their savings. And how many of the kids from 2005 are in the game today??? Basically none. Even a zillion of the older players have gone bust. The old guys still in it make money off sponsorship. Poker and sports are just a slower death than the other routes. But if you play all the time even in fair environments, you will go broke.
