I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say.

When I said that it ‘happens’, I don’t mean that it’s common business. (When I say that ‘thieving happens’, do I call everybody a thief? -of course not)

Neither did I accuse PokerStars of it. If PokerStars weren’t a trusted poker site, like you state, I would never have done a write-up on it.

However, what I do mean to say is the following: there are tons of poker clients out there, and some don’t play fair.

Your comment that online poker software will deal better cards to new players is simply false, and is a display of just how little you know about the online gaming world. Next time when you decide to write-up an article about online poker, make sure you at least know what you are talking about, or contact someone who does.

Trusted Poker sites such as PokerStars has a completely random deal that has been proven independent of the company by the poker community time and time again.

Thanks for the innacurate report, Simon.

You can even play for real money without the need to deposit your own. Just go to http://www.pokerstrategy.com and you will get 150$ for free to try out onlinepoker at Pokerstars and other sites. But, as you state: "Some of them even go as far as giving better cards to new players". I can't verify this for Pokerstars or Partypoker, the games seem absolutely fair there.

I play on PokerStars and also Full Tilt Poker. They are both very similar in their layout and games, being able to play for free and also using real money if you are willing to take the risk. Great fun, but can be addicting and time wasters, feeding the procrastination habit!

In poker you don’t just play with cards, you play with people as well. In PokerStars it’s possible to tag notes to other players that you encounter, which you’ll be able to view later on. This way, if you play with returning people, you can easily remember one’s behaviour; if he was an defensive or an aggressive player, tactical or careless.
