It's straight - or is on the couple of sites I've played on. The problem for my money is the unlikely high standard of hands, resulting in ridiculous numbers of bad beats. That's why I packed in.
Its as straight as it comes, they are fully regulated and the random card software they use is checked often. There are no more bad beats online than in live poker, you play far more hands online so it may seem to some they happen more frequently, they don't.
i like that answer Pompey Red......but it does seem sometimes ure luck is bang out despite playing the same strategy...i guess thats life.....some bad days where nothing goes right and vice versa........ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....i'll have a think Cheers
Exactly that, luck or variants as poker players call it is a fact of playing the game, that 2% outer will come in eventually and you've just got to hope you aren't on the recieving end. Change your game to the situation and play poker not the cards I was usually ok to lose a hand if I'd played it correctly and got my money in good, that's life l, If id played badly I would cry like a baby usually! Online poker is great as there are fewer tells and greater options for blowing your top!!
