In the recent years online no limit holdem is showing continued growth and popularity. This popularity is accompanied by growing discussion whether or not this game is rigged in online casinos.
Let me put my two cents in !
The internet gambling forum verdict is: „Online casinos are cheating!”
Almost every supporter of such opinion states that he has lost for most of the time playing no limit holdem online. None of them can recall long streaks of good luck. They describe such course of things as strange and unnatural, hence the conclusion of online casinos cheating.
In my opinion this proves nothing. Explanations can be numerous, e.g. casinos cheating, poor playing skills, emotional playing, etc.
Cheating on the internet is very common, that’s for sure, but not everyone is cheating.
This is also true regarding online gambling – some casinos do cheat – some do not. Most casinos which are legally licensed are safe to play in.
But the real concern for online gamblers is: „Can I win playing online no limit holdem?”
The short answer is: „No”.
And the reason is not rigged games, but your opponents who use special software tools.
Some of these tools are considered legal, some are not, but all of them give their user an unfair advantage.
Search web for „poker bots”. You’ll be surprised! These bots are software pieces (robots) pretending they are real human players, but in reality they act in favor of their bosses.
Imagine that you are playing online no limit holdem against ten opponents, eight of whom are robots! And these robots are coordinating their actions to help two of your human opponents.
No chance for you to win.
So my advice is:
• If you wish to play online for money, play games against reputable casino, not against human players. Play such games as roulette, baccarat, etc.
• If you want to play online no limit holdem for fun – play in training mode.
• If you want to play no limit holdem for money – play in brick & mortar casinos.
• I do not recommend playing online poker for money – it is hard work and not very pleasant one. But everyone has to decide for himself.
