I dont believe any site is rigged in itself, but I do wonder if certain players have advantages sometimes. Two Hands which relate to this thread

Playing at the 2/4 NL tables, I noticed a guy pop up out of nowhere (we'll just say Bob) I noticed everytime Bob was playing 3-4 tables and had 1000-2000 dollars on each table (400 max buy in) I had made a note of this.

I also noticed his fairly aggressive style if the flop was shorthanded (generally HU)

Im not sure if this is 100% accurate as I dont remember the exact cards that well, but this is basically how it went down

I had AKs and made a raise, he was the only caller. The flop hit QJ 7. I lead with a continuation bet (slash semi bluff if you want to consider it) and he raised me here, which didn't surprise me. I called the raise, intending on stealing the pot on the turn with a check raise, or maybe get lucky and catch a 10. The turn is a 4. I check, he bets out around 60 bucks, I push my entire stack in, a raise of close to 200. He INSTAcalls with A7. No help for me on the river. You don't have to agree with my aggression here, but on his part an instacall with low pair with 2 paint cards on the board? Seems odd

A few hands later this guy is UTG and raises to 16 with J9o (standard raise) has two callers. Flop is a rainbow 10,A,3. He bets out, one play folds the other player calls. The turn comes a 7. He bets out strong again, the player raises him strong and he calls this strong raise. The river is a 8 and he pushes his stack in and is called.

A player can not continuously be making 600-1600 dollars per table (while playing 3-4 tables) EVERY TIME I see him on, and be playing like this. And his moves were made so fast, it seemed strange. A well known player from the 2/4 tables who is seen almost every day made a comment "Im trying to figure out if he has a scanner" I asked him to elaborate but he didn't say anything else about it.

Needless to say its very strange, and I tend to shy away from tables with this player since.

Figured this would relate to the thread
