    A rigged online poker screenshot was already done on DP about 2 years ago.

    And then it ended up on the front page of Digg and now DP and Digg don't really like each other :)

    That screenshot is supposed to prove online poker is rigged... lol

    I play on Fulltilt and Pokerstars, you have to worry more about collusion if you are playing cash games than the program being rigged.. I prefer playing tournaments on both sites.

    debunker

    It was either Shawn asking Digg to bann DP or Digg banning DP or something like that i can't really remember. But you can no longer submit DP pages to Digg. Try it :)

    Yes of course, poker bots exist but mostly to make "rakeback" for their owners.. Bot's are not too much of a threat as far as cheating.. They are not run by the site they are programs modified by people. They cannot "see" the cards in the deck or anything like that

    MightyB - I prefer tournaments online as there is less risk of collusion. I do like to play cash games but mostly live action as I prefer to look at my opponents in cash games. Online tournaments are hard to beat - there is always a good tourney starting online, mtt's, sng's and satellites.

    Google "Absolute Poker tournament rigged" and you will see proof of how online poker is a bad bet. Now if one of the biggest poker websites can screw its customers this way and it was hard for the company to admit imagine how many other times it has happened to players.
