Good to see this debate is still alive.
I'm pretty much on the fence again with this one, occasionally I like to jump down onto the side of the conspiritors, as I believe it would be very easy for any site to fiddle their algorythms and get away with it. And if they can potentially make a bit more money doing this, then why wouldn't they?
But like I said I'm on the fence, maybe all poker sites are fair and honest
The fact remains that if it is the players, then I'd rather not play there anyway. I do better against competent players who know what they're doing, as they're much easier to read, rather than a bunch of suckout fish. Why play in a lucky dip lottery when you can have a proper game of poker with good players?
