Wow. That's probably the first truthful post I've ever seen on the
subject.
Online is a haven for them. They get their chips in with the best of
it and meet up with the weighted loses the software generates for
those hand situations but more than make up for it with their *****
pushes, trying to be aggressive, when the software saves their asses.

We have no motivation to post databases! Why? Because the 'its rigged'
players are all supposedly winning players. Why the hell would we want
to give them proof that it isn't rigged? You make money by playing
against losing players. If supposedly winning players want to quit, I
think that's fucking FANTASTIC! Buh bye!

"it's rigged" crowd:

So, you are lying. You are making this up. There is no 700K hand
database. You are full of *****. You have absolutely no proof that it
is not rigged.

It's always been my theory that those who scream to the heavens every
time someone points out how and why online poker is rigged are
actually pretty decent players with the fatal flaw of being extremely
loose. The kind of players that will tell you about their "extremely
aggressive form" of playing poker. Players that, despite their
understanding and knowledge of the game, can't seem to win live
because they want to get fancy and "use their stack as a weapon," etc.

Now they get the best of both worlds. They are coinflips in
out-donking the donks and they become semi-favorites in dumb-*****
situations they push themselves into with more solid players.

Hence the "it's a different game online" mantra of those claiming it's
not rigged. They like it because now they are "winning" players,
where as they weren't when or if they played live. Their form of
poker has become a winning form for them and they just want to take
what they know is true, in the backs of their minds - that the
software is propping them up - and brush that little bit of nuisance
information under the rug.

The guy who was bed-ridden that used to put money on Stars for me when
I'd go shopping for him and stuff... That was him to a "T." He loved
online poker and when he got better, refused to actually go play live
with me. He was one of those "very aggressive players... Just as
likely to be raising with AA in position as to be raising 3 7 off suit
from out of position." He described his style of play in, exactly,
this way and made a ***** load on Poker Stars while I rake in money
playing live and can't win with a highly favored hand at PS. He
continues to play and win - by playing like ***** - at PS and won't
even dream of putting his money on the real felt.

Why? He knows, deep down inside, that his "aggressive form of poker"
isn't going to fair to well for him in real live play. It never did,
it never will. Online, he's in heaven.
