I doubt that they are rigged, just SNG are much higher varience than cash games. And in cash games the very best players have 100K break even stretches.

I think that some of you should read 2+2. There is some info about 100k break even stretches and 25buy-ins downswings for top players.

Reagrding SNG a friend of mine playing 100$ SNG had 25 SNG stretch without getting ITM, and he is a winning player.

Last time I played SNGs I had a 50-buyin downswing at the $60 and $115 level. I was certainy one of the best players in every game I played. I do not think Pokerstars is rigged, it's just that the variance in SNGs is so incredible high you have no idea.

It's not that bad. These guys are pros multitabling like 8 tables for 6 or more hours a day. So 100k hands could be about 3 month of play. It's also 2000NL with very aggro games. Can't say what is their standard deviation, though one could find this info. There were people datamining Party games, the info about 100k break-even stretches is from dataminers.

Zmej, do you have a link to that 2+2 thread please?
