January Wrap-Up
January was an interesting month for me... perhaps the most interesting since I started playing online regularly back in July or so of last year. I started the month hoping to nail the $10 sit and gos and make smart decisions with my bankroll. However, I got caught up in $25NL and even some limit (UGH.) games and managed to piss away any good that I had been doing at the SNGs. Then, in a move of stupidity or genius (I'm voting for stupidity), I managed to enter and win a $50+5 SNG, bringing my account back into sorta-okay-healthy status.
Then $25NL 6 Max started calling my name, then it started screaming it, and then I managed to hit the mark I've been striving for since I started playing online: showing a profit, meager as it was. Yes, was. $25NL is a harsh mistress, and lately it's been unkind out there. I still see a major potential for profit playing NL cash games, and indeed, I've certainly shown significant overall gains since I started.
In the end though, I'm happy to report some welcome SNG numbers for January:
ITM: 35.42%
ROI: 37.22%
Now these numbers are obviously skewed by that $50+5 win, so here they are without that, just for reference:
ITM: 34.04%
ROI: 4.17%
Not so great, but a positive ROI is a positive ROI.
Now overall, after touching the profit stage for all of about a day, I'm back down to -$146.25 from what I had originally said was my 2005 goal (showing an all-time profit). I'm suprisingly cool with this, actually. I'll get there.

There is absolutely no question about the fact that PartyPoker is rigged. None whatsoever. Every successful pro I know agrees with me. I have been bearing the brunt of their stealing mode all night, culminating in a 3-way pot where I flopped a full house and got it all in on the turn against one guy who was drawing stone cold dead and one guy who had 2 outs. Naturally they brought the rigged river card in order to steal my huge pot. This is only one of many many hands, in fact I have played over one million hands online and have been earning my living playing online for over 5 years. No way is online randomly dealt. They cheat, plain and simple.

Then proving it should be pretty easy.

Clearly, you must know a lot of "successful pros" so this is a really really strong argument.

And that kind of thing just never happens with real cards and chips, now does it? Never, I tell ya!

So it's rigged, yet you still play? ...And claim to have been earning a living for over 5 years playing online? You must just be really lucky.

Yet you have no proof, and all logic would suggest that there is more to be gained from providing a fair game than providing a "rigged" one. Partypoker execs:
"Let's see, we paid a software developer, so that's paid for... all we have to do is run our servers and do some support and we make millions a year $1 at a time? Sweet, let's fuck up our reputation and rig the game so we can make 1.5 times as much!!"
Umm, no. Show me some empirical proof and I'll listen, otherwise, no.
