look, big money guarenteeds!!

On the i-poker network (who i personally dont trust Bet365, Poker770, PaddyPowerPoker)  there are $3000 and $2000 guarenteed tourneys throughout the day to buy in for for $1-3, sound good? well bad beats is all i ever get, better luck to u guys...but how does it make them profit if it doesnt reach $3000?  they put on tourneys and lose money themselves to host it?  as i say, all u can do is get your money in with the best hand, and losing can happen. but for me its every, and i mean

EVERYYY single time.  I struggle to not conclude that they are rigged, and the site have their own bot players in the midst that collect the major prize money anyway.

I always try and see the final table action, to witness to 2 players who have had a great day, that are playing for a difference of say $300 or so....hmmm, so why soon after heads up would both of them be all in with 88 vs A5, surely A5 would want to see a few more hands at least? or have called the raise to see if an ace flopped?  maybe im wrong, but maybe it was the site earning their profit after all, with a 1 - 2 finish?  as i say, i will be playing online poker in the future, and standing losing was at random, but i dont trust the sites above who share a site to be random. i think its an option those monkeys on the other computers have, which doesnt get left on.  big pairs vs big pairs vs KA vs AQ all the time, to bump up the rebuy, or let someone register for another one soon after.  speed poker, speed fix would be my guess!

Bad beats can happen, but avoid Alderney licensed and regulated sites!!

Poker bots are used by many poker players - I'm surprised the sites have not done something to combat the poker bot problem.

Of course, there are unscrupulous sites that use poker bots to "save" money by winning the pool prizes themselves (as you rightly say).  It's a sick practice but how do you prove they are bots?

Just type in "poker bots" in Google and you will see how many sites are selling them.  It's sick.

The sites don't do anything about the bots because it is in their interest not to a poker bot running 24 hours would generate a lot of rake for the poker room the sites themselves don't run them but they profit from them...

the lower limit fulltilt cash tables are infested with bots but they are easily exploited as they play ABC poker most of the time

Even land based poker rooms use sit ins.  There was a help wanted ad recently where the player plays their own money but gets paid $20 an hour to sit in or start a table.  Actually pretty clever on the casinos part especially if their taking a rake out of every hand.

Very clever but also a very dodgy practice.
