1. I'm not sure someone so paranoid should be reading what a few scumbags did but if you go to 2+2 and search "Propoker" "+pro+poker" or "Pokertropolis" you should find substantial writings on what happened. Make sure to change the search to the max (4 years) and for better results search only the internet gambling forum.

2. Pokertracker software will easily catch cheating poker rooms. If you are really worried about this stick to sites supported by PT. Read poker forums to catch up on news. I've posted about Pokertropolis here warning players years ago and there are a few threads about Propoker here.

3. The skilled players will play many more hours then the fishies because that is their job. Fishies work, skilled players play longer because they earn money while they play. Your example about the players of equal skill will break even and lose equal amounts to the rake is very flawed. Blackjack typically has a .5% house advantage or so. Does that mean every time I bet $100 I lose $.50 each hand? Of course not. Players are still going to win. Also how is a room going to rig the cards to make nobody win? How do they know players will play hands a certain way. Everybody has folded QJ preflop and gotten a AKT flop for the nuts. If I was suppose to win the hand because it was rigged for my turn and I fold then what happens?

4. I don't see any #4

5. You say you only put money is the pot with the top 1% of hands and are playing 4 handed then I know why you are losing so much. I bet you are losing insane amounts of money. You shouldn't be playing short handed. I hardly believe your claim anyway. You certainly have not provided and hand histories or Pokertracker screenshots. Are you basing this because you keep losing online because you play short handed poorly?

If you can't handle losing without blaming it on the big bad poker rooms that don't care if you win or not then don't gamble. There are endless players like myself making a decent living playing poker online. These are the same players that have WSOP cashes and in some cases bracelets. If these online poker games are rigged then why do successful internet pros double as successful live pros? Are we just lucky enough to have internet poker rigged in our favor for years?
