polle54, you have to consider the odds and numbers. If the house shifts even 0.5% of the hands to favor one player or another, that can represent millions of dollars. This would be doubly interesting for the house if they have their own player (or play bots) in games profiting from it.

Consider the odds in most casino table games. In Vegas, they are typically 1%-2% house advantage, and nothing more. From that alone, Vegas casinos are able to net a shitload of money.

An online poker room shifting the game a couple of decimal points AND favoring their own player on top of it would be more than enough to skim millions a year.
