  Speak to Suncity28, he's won 50 grand!

  I gave up playing online a couple of years ago - it's just about the most rigged online game there is.  Still play live now and again, but with the type of player you get these days, it is now 100% luck, no skill left.  For example, you can't bluff against a poor player because they don't know when they might be being beat, and as most of the skill is in bluffing (you're not often going to get good cards), there's not much point in playing.

  But, hey, if you're winning, then good luck and keep it going.

  Just be careful. My nephew thought he was playing for pennies on one of the poker sites too. He lost close to $5000.

  I've played more than 3million hands of online poker and have never felt cheated.  Some of you people just look for conspiracy in everything.

  (Might want to add some zero`s to that but not bragging) I am in agreement with bolox after playing roughly the same amount on hands haven't felt that I have been cheated at any point. To be honest introducing on-line to poker to the internet says me from driving to the casino & waiting for players & you don`t haft to look at them & listen to them cry when they lose. Internet poker you can just turn the chat of..

  I just prefer to play in live games.....that way I don't have to think about conspiracies, or for that matter, "one player per hand". Then again I'm only 18 mins away (going east or west) to a poker room.....But what ever rocks your boat and your "successful" is cool with me..;)
