Does anyone think these programs deal random cards ? If they do I am the unluckiest person in the world. I have things happen regularly that are hundreds and millions to one and even over a billion to one to me, how is this possible. All the out of sort odds are to the bad side. And I have never ever won four in a row even with odds 21-1 on the river, any comments ?

The poker sites use software called "RNG" which stands for Random Number Generator. In regards to a computer program is damn near close to fully random. You can run a google search for "poker rng" and you should see a good explanation about them.

They say they are random and don't favor any particular player, which may be true but ??? There is no way that things can happen against one person with the odds of over 100 million to one or once ever a billion to one at least once a week to the same person for at least six months, it is mathematically improbably ! Also, the swings are to the bad side never to the good side ! I have never ever won four all ins in a row, not even with pair over pair !!! However I have lost 8 in a row with pair over pair three times, and lost pair over pair on the river 6 times in a row ?? How ?

for real cash poker tables I don't know, I dont want to think at the possibility of an entire industry being buildt on cheating on players.

But for play for fun tables I really think that chance gets a little "helped"...I mean, when I play with no real money I often win with amazing hands, and if I loose that's because some else has an amazing hand. Then I try playing with real cash and well, my cards pretty much always sucks. I can't be sure, but I sense some kind of pattern... Something like: "make it super easy to win in play for fun, so the newbies think they are poker genius, they start to play with real cash and in no time they get skinned"...
