The poker sites have been ROBBING the public since 2006 when they began initiating ROBOT players to fill out the games. The robot players were originally programmed to not win, but to lose, lets say $1 an hour. That way they couldnt be accused of cheating, but in reality they are increasing their cut by about 10% an hour.
For example: in a ring game of 10 players each putting up $110 with $10 of the hundred going to the house that should leave $1000 available for the players to win. That amounts to a 10% chop. Bad enough. A ring game usually takes around, or under an hour. If there is one robot in the game and it is programmed to only lose $1 an hour that means that his contribution to the total pot is only $1. So now the total pot to be chopped up is only $901 which amounts to a further chop of almost another 10% for a grand total of 20%. A 20% chop would stop an artillery shell. Now that is with one robot in the game. More can be added.
Plus, in the big tournaments with hundreds of players, the robots never win the tournaments but they do come in 4th, 6th, 12th, etc., and drain off money a real person could have won.
It was possible to win before the robots were introduced. But now it amounts to highway robbery and they have been doing it for years. How are all those guys that were killing the games in the early days been doing lately? Many are probably too embarrassed to admit that things have gone sour.
The sites do even more evil than what I have just shown, but I hope I have shown enough to make the point.

I got woke up by a guy, a top poker player, who tried to put a site together that didnt make it and went under. He was just bad luck. Everybody else made billions.
