That contingent of people are quite adamant and passionate about their feelings and their stories are as atrocious as the ones on this site. Their financial losses are harrowing. One guy claims to have lost $127,000 over a stellar run of bad beats over a 6 months period after having made about $100,000 on another site before joing pokerstars.
Anyone have an opinion about the notion that all the poker sites are designed in much the same way and none are random?
I have noticed a lesser, but still manifest, pattern or cycle of win-some-lose-big-and-long on another site I started to frequent after I got sick of the FT curse. It was partly to see how my fortune might vary and if indeed it would vary at all.
I was winning sit'n'go's and made a nice little profit,. For a time I was sure that my suspicions about FT were confirmed because of the uneven results between FT and this other site.
After doing nicely over 6 SNgs it all started to suddenly go wrong. I have been losing to awful bad beats in a regular fashion. AA became a death hand, I got long dour runs of unplayable cards, people would suck out on me, etc etc.
It isn't as obvious as Full Tilt but it is happening. On one particular night I got dealt AA three seperate times and lost all my chips each time to obviously poorer hands. Maybe the culprit is not just Full Tilt but online gaming in totality. Has anyone played consistently over time on a site which hasn't exhibited this particular manifest cycling tendency of bad luck and bad beats? Is there a site that seems to play fair and random cards all the time?

What you are saying makes perfect sense. My experiences from the Live games and the internet games are not much different. The same things Ive seen online I have also seen at the live tables. There are fluctuations in my live game play almost equal to my internet play. Not even in live play do I feel as if the cards that are dealt to me are completely fair and random, but they are because poker is a random game.
