In live play, people are usually more polite for a couple of reasons.
1. Being rude to someone’s face takes a lot more “balls” than flipping someone off while driving or something else with some […]

are-poker-sites-rigged-part-ii

Apparently, the new answer is, surprisingly, YES!

I’ve looked at the hand history files myself… and it just makes you […]
