Oftentimes, I will play two tables or more.
I know the flops are randomized, and this observation is worthless in practice.
But it sure seems like whenever I have a borderline decision whether to play a hand on table A, if that hand would really like the flop on table B, it will almost never like the flop on Table A if I decide to play it.
it's totally random. you've been playing too much. lol

That happens all the time when multitabling. Play the right cards at the right table and leave silly patterns out of your strategy.
It alot easier to flop a set/ quads when there are 4 of the card still in the deck.

2x as many of your cards
thats why your cards look so good on the other table

Obviously every table is supposed to be independent of the other tables. But yeah, psychologically I can understand why you would do that.
Human minds have the amazing ability to frequently see relationships and patterns, even to the point of seeing false ones in completely random and independent events

I notice the same thing with women. If I'm trying to pick someone up, and while I'm doing it I spot someone I would like even better, I don't succeed with the first one.
Poker is a jealous mistress, my son.
You hear the same argument every time about poker sites "cheating" because of the theoretically disproportionate amount of large hands that win pots (straights, flushes, boats, etc). I played 150 hands in 90 minutes recently, on a single table, so you're going to see that a lot more often than you would playing one hand every two minutes live.
Not that I don't do that occasionally myself -- I remarked to someone recently how I "always" get five-gap hands in the blinds in hold 'em, like J6 or T5. The funny "patterns" you notice sometimes...
