Manipulated software ? ...
... the answer in my opinion is most definitely, for it is a program coded by humans after all.
One of the reasons that I play on Ladbrokes so little these days is because of the incredible things that I've seen on there......and I don't mean one-offs !
Last night I was the bounty in their $100K guranteed $100 rebuy tournie and I raised in last middle position with A 10 spades and was called in 2 spots (one of them the massive table chippie).
The flop came 10 high, rainbow and I pushed and was called by the chippie...the other guy folded.
The table chippie turns over A9, has no part of the flop and can only hit running 9s to win....but I kid you not that I was not surprised when that's exactly what happened !
Four or five years ago, I used to play online poker eight hours A DAY, every day....but these days, I probably play online about 8 hours A WEEK in total.
I much prefer the live game, because I truly believe that it's more honest and, although I still take beats, they are less often and certainly easier to accept !
The only reason that I still play online at all is that despite everything I still turn a profit and I guess that's the bottom line...lol.
Good luck at the wonky tables,
Ian.
