No this site is legit.

Any one who says this site is legit…probably works for the site. I don’t know why they feel they have to be this way…it’s not real money for one…

I typed out the below in a reply to someone saying, yet again, about online poker being a fix.

Since no-one is looking at the original comment, I thought I would try and share it wider:

PROF. CLARI’s ANSWER TO ALL THE FIXER THEORISTS

I like this comment, I really do.

Its such a common statement seen here in games and online in cash games. Its usually a bad beat.

There is a serious element to this though, and one that I am more interested in, and that is all about the nature of random numbers and if a computer can truly generate a random number.

The simple answer to that is no. I have not the time to explain the detail, but my Doctorate has quite a bit of focus on AI algorithms within my field (theoretical physics).

IF you were to play with a simple non-algorithmic random number generator, statistically, and this is fuzzy logic or will sound so, you will see far more bad beats and, again from a fuzzy point of view put in poker terms ABC poker does not work.

I wish I had more time to study this, it is the reason that I started to play poker (two three months ago), but I don’t.

There is a good article about this at MIT’s website, and pay attention to this bit,

‘a CD player in “random” mode is probably really playing in pseudo-random mode, with a pattern that is discernible if you listen carefully enough.’

The simple answer then is, no, Replay is not fixed.

Its tooks me over 2 years to understan that is not fixed , i did compair to others site and life game at casino and understood how poker is works, they are not fixed.

Our observation collapses the probabilistic wave function, and the resulting determinate eigenstate is being statistically skewed by the expectations of the observers. For example, when one observer is thinking, “Oh no, he’s gonna hit his flush,” and the other is thinking, “Come on, daddy needs that flush,” the system responds by making that flush more likely.

The results will only be “rigged” if you expect them to be rigged.

Are you saying that a human watches every hand played and determines within seconds how to alter the game? Wow…How does replay pay these people? Amazing…

The secret to success on Replay is simple. Buy enough chips, which is what they want after all, to take you straight to High Stakes and then play with the hands High Stakes players get all the way through a table sitting. As, Ks, Qs all night. Occasionally a normal hand but nothing to compare with what a Low or Med plays with. Don’t believe me, just look at any table containing 2/3 High Stakers with players below. Keep track of the hands. It’s ridiculous

I have a few million chips without buying any, and i certainly don’t get extra good hands. I’ve folded my fair share of trash like 94 and 72, and the trash that others think is treasure like A7o and Q6s.

I made a 2nd account once, played for a week and quit with 2.5m chips. No need to buy any.

lAnyone who believes that Replay Poker’s programs doesn’t control and manipulate the cards is either naïve, a Replay shill, or hasn’t played enough hands to see the tendencies within the programs.

It goes without saying that the cards that are folded preflop influence the subsequent flop, turn, and river. This has been a constant since I started playing on Replay a few years ago. If you play enough you will understand this. I have no idea how this is programmed to happen, only that it does.

All of the poker events which defy the laws of probability have to be programmed in. It also seems likely that individual players’ cards and hands can be manipulated by Replay’s programs.

So you say that you select a randomly selected card and put it in another deck. Why do you do this and when you do you no longer have a “truly random” game. What you don’t say is how and why you manipulate the cards and hands in other ways.

I play enough live poker to have some insight as to the probabilities that exist in poker. What I have seen rather frequently are instances where the odds of such things happening are not within anyones’ bounds of probability.
I’ve sat at tables (Replay) where quads come up several times at the same table at the same tournament. The odds of that happening are astronomical.

Mr. Gatsby, for you to say that the system is “truly random” is simply not true. As a representative of Replay I would expect you to say nothing less. However, you can’t be saying that with a “straight face”. It’s like that cigarette industry saying for years that “smoking doesn’t hurt you”

Jack,

The kind of post you wrote is usually ifrom a bad player who has nothing better to do than rant on Replay Poker. But you aren’t a bad play at all. Indeed you are a pretty good player who has been here four years and has accrued way over twenty million chips!

Then I looked at all the other posts you made over the years. They all say the same thing. My goodness this is odd.

All I can say to you is that inspire of all you have said you seem to have made good use of this crocked place and shame on you for your hypocrisy. It’s a true shame.

why is it people seem to forget the fact that at any one time there are literaly hundreds of hands being played on this site over all and if you did have an oppertunity to play in a simular situation live where its free with no monetary gain you would most certainly see some really unbelievable stuff over all… the randomness is site wide not just your table or tounament … if its not random for those who think its rigged then it must be cool to know whats coming next EVERYTIME and never have a bad beat,what ya complaining about

What really surprises me is that our tinfoil hat wearing friends have had nothing to say about the winner of the “Bust The Staff” tourney. Shakeraise even managed to pick up the bounty on chasetheriver on the way. Well done Shake.
I had expected to see pages upon pages of conspiracy rants using lots of CAP LETTERS on this so am pleasantly surprised by their absence.
p.s…its not rigged people

Well, speaking for us winners on here…we are comfortable with whatever system Replay is using…

Of course, for the losers, I can see how they might like to see the system tweeked a bit.
