I feel there is cheating that goes on in online poker eyeball.
There has been a few reports that players capable of Cheating with new PokerRNG 6.0 software. Not to mention all that controversy about what happen to Absolute poker a few weeks back when all the cards were face up for people to see. Plus you always have to wonder about the "bot" problems too.Comment -
Reports of players cheating with PokerRNG, where'd you hear that BBD, no such item, selling false hope and getting $400 a crack.
We know who the real cheats are, but it's legal so let em get the money which they will, as did snake oil salesman and Sy Sperling with his hair club.Comment -
well I was going to send ultimate bet some funds, but of course not a lot of money. But was just wondering if these games were on the level, if the poker operators cheated or the players.Comment -
eyeball,
In a large nutshell here goes,if you want to play online now,regardless of the amount you want to buy in for P.S is your best bet in my opinion.
If you buy in there for small ....let's say 100$.... play small,they have micro limits don't be embarrased to play at 25-50cent game,as this will allow you to take beats and remain in the game and still give yourself an opportunity to make money.
If you play cash games you must leave them when up an amount your ok with even if (at the beginning) that means buying in for 30$ at 25-50 cent game and leaving with 55$
build your roll slowly.... 20 here 15.... there .....in those smaller games you can hit and run cause there are literally 70 of those tables going at the same time. off hours like 30.
Now lets say you got your BR to 173$, jump into a sit&go for like 50$ or 30$ or whatever take a shot at a free roll they got a nice 60$ 45 player or 20$ 180 players, if you have the ability&luck to make top10% your BR flies through the roof, then you can step up in the cash games, and with some good play and trying your best to stay away from hard luck you can make a few bucks,
On the other hand if you jump into that same 25-50 cent game with 30$ and after like 20 mins nothing is happening ....leave take a small loss and go into another one or two at the same time.... if at any time your BR goes to like 50-60 left in the account....close up shop for the day.
DO NOT GO ON TILT ONLINE AS IT USUALLY TURNS ACCOUNTS INTO BIG 00000.
Games are not easy there many good players and fish, watch games before jumping in..get a service like sharkscope or pokerdb\bluff mag etc.
Don't drink &play....smoking a doobie is ok.
Many more things i can say but ill leave you with this,as in betting sports, many factors determine what books players use, many things come into play like bonuses, lines, limits,customer service,but by far the biggest factor is DO THEY PAY, followed by how long is the wait.
When it comes to online poker your money is safer at poker stars then at your locall credit union, never have to sweat the payout as it always comes and is always good.
gl wherever you decide to play.........Comment -

Thanks for the great advice, what is your opninon of Ultimate BET?Comment -
I dont believe there is any cheating going on for the small player
Not worth the risks to cheat on a low level gameComment -
This may be the source of some your "better" advice (although I think a littlle of what you said makes sense)
I've filed taxes on my winnings the last three years and will do so again next year... Online poker is defienently not rigged although there have been very isolated instances (such as Absolute Poker) in the past of some real supsicious occurances... That being said poker is very streaky and there is huge variance... I went on month long losing streaks, and this multitabling and playing almost everyday... Most players online are losers (this is of course obvious since money is being taken out of every pot, every tourney and every sit and go...) and when you add this to the fact that the variance is huge and you get lots of people claiming shit like this... you also get 10x the number of hands online in an hour then they can in a casino, and (most importantingly) the fact is that most people aren't nearly as good as they think...
My advice is play well within your bankroll (a good general rule is 5% for cash games, and 1% for tourneys), read some books on poker, and actually start looking and thinking about the hands you play... also look for easy bonuses and rakeback (this are nearly as good as they were a year+ ago but anything is better then nothing).... hell you might even try smoking your doobie after you finish playing...Comment -
Hey eyeball,
I have an account at UB,but don't use it that much,and as i mentioned earlier in my posts, for me right now P.S basically is all i play,i play tourneys above all and P.S tourneys are by far superior to any others out there, easy to pass money between players, and always a game happening, where as at U.B it's hit or miss.
I really hope someone else comes along , to give a p.s some competition but it seems those that were close have all fallen a bit for whatever reason.
Paradise was once good not any more, Party fell of the radar when they stopped taking american action, UB doesn't get the same action as they once did,thought WSEX would do we'll when they came out with complete rake back, but that didnt really work, couldnt get the action as i don't like to sign up for sit&gos and wait an hour. Full tilt which i do play at and did like playing in the past now seems to have major C.S problems.
Believe me, i'm no scout or agent for P.S, and hope someone else comes along or improves to get the action they get.
That said i believe that Lee Jones and his gang are big whores.
They just happen to have the best online game going now.Comment -
ultimate's used to have a pretty big group of bonus hunters after that bubble burst with rakeback and bonus both being based on dealt cards not contributed... now they changed both to contributed and it really makes the bonuses almost impossible to clear for a tight player unless you play short handed games... they offer bonuses left and right but they are pretty much worthless unless you play decent stakes short handed...Comment -
Some site are known to run crooked games. Some but not all. Most sites are okay.Comment
