If a player is more tight live, because they’re just more intimidated by those guys.. well online they could be more brave, it’s just like online dating, a LOT easier to be confident and daring than you are live…

They KNOW people are like this. They know people who are tight and play cautiously live (IE–not as good live) are more likely to play aggressive online.

(In other words, that voids the actually aggressive players who do well live.. because now, “everyone” is playing like them)

So, knowing this, they need to put some control into it, as some form of .. I dunno, well a way of saying “hey buddy, you think you’re aggressive online eh? Well.. I’ll show you” and this is why you get all these ridiculous bad beats.

It’s a slap in the face. That same hand would’ve likely held up live…

But I think, these people are sort of angry that people who weren’t as good live now go online and are suddenly good.

Just like with the ‘online dating’ example, it’s as if the ‘confident pretty’ people are angry that ‘ugly losers’ go online and suddenly act and appear as confident as they do and actually GET the dates (snatching them away from those who would’ve in real life)

There’s some resentment there… and if “pretty confident” people controlled a dating site, would they then not want to add some control to keep these “fake confident losers” from snatching all their potential dates??

But to be honest, I still play online, I just play different. I wait until it’s “rigged in my favor”. I figured it out. But I know the type of ways it works. Like the poster said above, you play into the rig. You realize it’s rigged. Then, duh.. use that to your advantage.

I mean think about it. It’s rigged, so figured out how it’s rigged, then play by that?!?! Easy peesy.

This is the ‘secret’ and why no pros or winning players will admit to it!

This is correct. But I’ve calculated the weighted percentages. For example, suited hands are stronger than offsuited hole cards. And suited cards are three times less often dealt than offsuited cards (eg on average you get three times AK offsuited for each time you get AKs). The same goes for pocket pairs, these are half as common as offsuited cards.
So that’s why the percentage is only 18.4% and not 23.7%. This means that the players made all of their profits with 40 of the 169 hands. Because these top hands are dealt less often, only 18.4% of all dealt hands to the average player will earn him a profit in the long run.
