Is online poker flawed, fundamentally?
Online poker is not rigged, but there is a fundamental flaw in the process that is ostensible. Ostensible is something that first appears to be true, but when looked at in great depth , turns out to be false.

This thread might finally become more than just theory after GG took the lead. Did you notice the amount of least probable outcomes that happen there every couple hands?
I tried to read this, but the conversation is too long.
Pkdk is trying to say, that in case Pokerstars takes a new randomly shuffled deck for each next game cone (hand), it causes rigging?
Lol, I opened opponent's hands on iPoker, and I made it right after Pokerstars closed its doors for players from Russia...
They just rig the postflop (specifically, the flop cards) to the favor of a losing player.
I mean, this theory of pkdk, which doesn't look reasonable to me, is not something that really matters, because this approach of him is about "fair but non-completely-random" dealing.
While the rooms just use the fact - it's impossible (almost) to prove rigging of the game without opening of the starting hands of your opponents in each game cone played - and deal cards the way to keep weaker players in game.

I mean, there is a pretty concrete logic of rigging the game on Pokerstars, same as on iPoker.
