My recent post Manipulating The Deck In Online Poker seemed to “stir up the pot” a bit as Bill Rini put it. I thought a lot of the feedback was interesting, and I responded to some of it in the comments section of the original post.
But I thought Bill’s feedback needed a new post to [...]

I don’t know who the first person was who claimed online poker was rigged, but I’m pretty sure they’re older than the Baby Jesus. Unfortunately, the ubiquitous wolf-criers and Chicken Littles have turned any claim that online poker is “rigged” into a bad joke in the eyes of many people.

The first time I heard about someone 6-tabling online, it blew my mind. How on earth do you play six games at once? At the time, when I played online, I played either one or two games only. Then people were 8-tabling. Then 12-tabling. Now some people use simple, specialized Q&A #102: Online Poker Multitabling [...]
