About LinkBacksLive game this weekend... I get dealt AA, then KK next hand, then AKs. Then for like 12 hands I get crap. I should have the house check their RnG. (BTW - Typical dealer rotation for live friendly game)

I need to cash out ALL my bankroll quickly before these sites suck me in and I lose it all.For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

what'S actually funny is, that if in fact, the randomness is streaky, well, you can't do nothing about it cuz the site will say "well, that's bad luck" and you can't argue that there is something odd.
if there is something odd, "it's just the way it is for you at that period of time"

Randomness isn't streaky; it's unpredictable.
I should quote that, but quoting yourself is lame."People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.

Add to this that the human mind is supremely adept at finding patterns. It is what we are hardwired to do, and so we will always start to find patterns where none truly exist, especially over a small sample size. Originally Posted by Pinguaq

Oh, never mind, you think, and promptly forget about the hand. But the next time it happens, you think the same thing. This time, they guy hits two pair on you, and busts you out of the tournament. "ZOMFG," you scream (as this is what I scream at times like this), "EVERY FUCKING TIME I HAVE AA THESE FUCKERS DRAW OUT ON ME," obviously forgetting the other hand before.If you are one in a million, there's eight just like you in Manhattan.

Ok, this forum has been running for a while now...I can't believe there are still "poker is rigged" posts popping up. Search, there are plenty of other posts that deal with your frustrations and questions on the matter...
Believe it or not, you're not the first person to think this...I know, it may come as a surprise to find out that this isn't a new idea...SEARCH. Once you've read the other posts on the subject, if you have new...OBJECTIVE...information on the subject, then it'd be wise to post it...
Damn...I can't believe this is still popping up.Trons Originally Posted by Jason75
