i don't think i'll ever be 100% sure of anything after fulltilt but it seemed like an acceptable risk to me.

the side benefit of being forced to play there was finding out that some of the worst poker players on the internet habituate their card room. it's like 2001 again when everyone who watched wpt decided to open a poker account. very low traffic though compared to the dedicated poker sites.
Doesnt it seem like an inordinate amount of bad beats on the river happen at bodog?

Used to happen a lot at Full Tilt. It's the biggest reason I quit playing online.

no. it's human nature to remember the one's that hurt and forget the one's that benefit. i hear that complaint about every online site. i've never understood how it would benefit the operator to have the card fall be non-random.

and bad beats are just the tax you pay for playing against inferior players. if they always lost they'd stop playing.
