Yes it's rigged. Most of them are, believe me.
I'm a big winner on Stars (21bb/100) in a two year period. Started with $2 they gave me and turned into a real big number. I could play with my eyes closed. I joined Ipoker, Full Tilt and Party Poker and all hell broke loose.
On Ipoker I was running at 19bb/100 for the first two months, the boards looked similar to Stars. I then received a email from them to play x weekend because they would give 100% rakeback+bonuses that weekend. Look, the things that happened that weekend were impossible. I had more sets over sets than I ever saw in my life playing poker. Countless two pair vs better two pair. And get this, over 40 sets against me in a 12 hour period!! I play 6max but It was like I was playing 20max tables. I changed tables, I changed seats, I took brakes but everytime I was in a hand I got coolered. I lost two months worth of work in 12 hours to that rigged network.
Full Tilt and Party Poker have very similar patterns, most of them discussed here already. The thing I most notice in these two sites are the endless boards with 4 cards of the same suit that counterfeit all my hands and the endless wet boards that always hit the guy who is up against me. I also love the paired boards on these two sites. Everytime that pair hits me and makes me a set villain has the same set with bigger kicker!! lool. If you learn poker one of the major things you learn is that when a board is paired there is only a small chance villain has the set, and when you do have that set the chances of villain having it also decreases dramatically... well, not on Full Tilt, it actually increases... Better yet, changing seats, changing tables, changing stakes, taking breaks never ever works! You will just not win period!
Enter Pokerstars, no one ever has anything on 6max tables. Odds always seem to be right. Most boards are dry. In a two year period I rarely had sets over sets or second nuts vs the nuts. Idiots chasing draws without odds hit it once in a full moon. Taking breaks, changing seats, changing tables actually work when you are running bad (that's one of the best ways to know if it's rigged, because if you play 6 or 9 tables and changing all those things don't actually change anything you can be sure something fishy is going on)!!
That said, I can't see any patterns on Stars (I only play cash games though) so I can say it's the only site I trust so far.
