Yes many people do feel that way.
But not anyone with credibility.
Yes you got the Rare UB/AB stuff.
But the way you are describing it is a mass conspiracy situation which nobody with any cred believes.
I liken online cheating to that rare event such as a basketball player at a mid level D1 school accepting $500 to keep it under thespread
Your belief system goes way beyond that.
What you are saying is basically the equivalent of when someone says the entire NFL or NBA is rigged like the WWE.
And there is nobody in the poker community that believes that.
And the fact that you don't realize that does say something for your live game.
I know you don't realize you are telling on yourself because of your lack of knowledge but you are.
If you want your live poker story to be believable I would suggest you refrain from talking about poker on this site.
Because every time you do you expose yourself.
"Telling on yourself". You have no clue what you're talking about. None. I know people that will not play Internet poker because of the scandals.....people that have won more and know more about poker than you do. Just because you met the nitwit festering zit....doesn't mean you have to back his idiotic positions now.
Im not saying everything is rigged but many are and there have been more scandals than just UB.
Many in the poker community do not trust anything about online poker and are completely scared off because of its piss poor regulation....which is non existent. It's why the players have to uncover these scandals before anything is done about it.
Dont even start with the nonsense about telling me to refrain from talking about it....as if it exposes something....that's total bullshit...you tried this shit years ago....then asked me for my poker handle at UB....which I sent you thru pm and you said you didn't have time to research it. Which, I'm sure you did, and just didn't wanna acknowledge the level and stakes I was playing. So please spare me this nonsense that you know things that I don't.
