I do. It seems rigged and cheats bad with preposterous hands in succession. There is alot of occurrences of quads and royal flushes.

i'm guessing these online sites make their money from the rakes....the more money in the pot the more money they rake......so seems like they would want to "generate" the community cards to give everyone in the hand the best hands possible so that everyone would remain in the hand, raise, etc.......

somewhat shady IMO....

At least one of those sites, paradisepoker, has their hand histories audited by a top level accounting firm for randomness. They post the certification letters online so you can view them in order to quell any thought of corruption.

Party Poker addict here, it seems rigged but, it doesnt make sense for them to rig it, people are going to play hands no matter what and how would the system decide who is the lucky player, and if it is random then it doesnt really matter because you will get your turn. Not to mention they have a reputation to uphold so they can compete with other poker sites
Y2K1S2K you bastard that was when it was str8 flushes now its only royal flushes sniff

Want the most idiots? Then play PartyPoker and you'll make the most money. You just have to play right. (I suppose playing "right" is different in everyone's mind, but poker veterans know what I mean).
