In online poker, is it the site or the mindset is rigged?

Most online poker sites argue that online poker is not rigged that it is the player mindset that is affecting the player performance. They pointed out that there is a huge difference between live poker and online poker. Online poker needs special approach especially in terms of speed. Therefore, a online poker player must familiarize with the concept and mechanism of online poker game. Online poker is faster and varience use to hit harder than in live poker. Moreover, they argue that losing a few hands does not mean that online poker is rigged!

I feel that poker websites are fair mostly but majority of the player that plays it has great influence on their performance. Poker on the Internet is not played the same way as live poker and the players have to adjust to the pace of the game and variance.

Some good players who have played offline might find it difficult adjusting to how it is played online if they have not taken time to understand the differences when it comes to playing online and offline.

I think it's mostly mindset being rigged, not the site. When you're losing, everything feels suspicious and you notice bad beats more. When you're winning, the same randomness feels fine. Our brains aren't great at processing variance. we want patterns even when it's just math and luck.

I’ve blamed the RNG on certain sites before. I’ve had reasons to suspect it might reward bad play over a large volume of hands, but overall, I don’t believe most sites are rigged.

That said, if you play on Poker Mavens sites, be cautious. The owners or admins can access the backend and view hole cards, so you have to trust that they’re running the site with integrity.
