I’ve heard that some sites are rigged in certain situations
(one being that they will have large hands hit eachother at the same time so that people will go out quicker). I didn’t believe it at first but I’ve been noticing it happening more than it should if it was random.

Anyways, paranoya aside, what seems to be a good site to play poker on?

Thanks!

Me and my buddy are pretty solid poker players (amateur, but better than the tourists who only watch on TV), and we are going to visit Atlantic City on either Friday afternoon or Saturday during the day (maybe both). I was just wondering if anyone has any opinions for the best casino?

Which casino has the best limit games, any tournaments on Friday night or Saturday morning, and finally, the best buffet (since we’ll be getting lunch or dinner in AC at some point). Thanks!
