Online Poker v Live Poker

Online Poker v Live Poker
One reason why players think online poker is rigged is because of the amount of hands you get to see. When you’re playing in a home game or in a casino, you will play about a fourth of the amount of hands that you’ll play in the same amount of time online. This makes a huge difference when it comes to bad beats, which is why players think they are getting screwed. If you’re seeing four times the amount of hand you normally see, you’re going to win four times as many big pots, and you’re also going to have four times as many bad beats.
Also a lot of players online play multiple tables, seeing even more hands. They are not seeing the whole game only ever reacting to their hole cards, then getting frustrated when their big hands get beat.
Here's a little exercise you can do,get a deck of playing cards, take out two aces as one set of hole cards then deal 9 other hole cards, the flop, turn, river etc. Do this exercises a few times and see how many times AA would actually win if every player stayed in, you will be surprised and it will help you understand more.
