Well I have been playing online poker at a "legit" website they have been around in my country South Africa for years and claim to be legit(have all the "proof" and some Australian programming system) but every time the people bet big atleast 3 or more player will have a very good hand like three of a kind, full house and then a better full house almost like the James Bond movie.
Have any of you experienced this with online poker or online gambling in general?
Thanks

When people have good hands, they bet big. I don't see a problem.
Wisdom is the quality that keeps you out of situations where you would otherwise need it

Juicing up the quality of hands is something that is all too common in online poker. When online poker was a new thing, all the pros went to it's defense saying it was "not rigged" blah blah blah. Now players have access to a data base of millions if not billions of hands and are able to do their own statistical research. The general finding is that the hands juiced up to create action for multiple players at the table. Who actually gets the winning hand is still up for debate. Although there are plenty of others doing research on how bad they run after a withdrawal of funds and how great they run after a fresh deposit. It all smells very stinky for my liking.
I don't believe the pros who talk about how great online poker is because they are getting paid money from these sites to endorse them. I also can't stand the fact that online poker is unregulated. When your funds get frozen for whatever reason, there isn't much you can do in terms of recourse. I'd much rather play cards in a licensed gaming facility in the US or Canada with access to gaming commissions in the event of bad conduct on the casino's part rather than play at some server based in Kahnawake or Costa Rica.
I suggest you do some research on it yourself if you want more details. A couple years ago people blamed the sites for being "Rigged" or "Juiced", most of them just got laughed at by the online poker community and labelled as bad players. Now these players have statistical data to back up their claims and Full Tilt is no more.
