Default Re: link with math for \"poker is not rigged\" argument

So if I gave you 100m hands from a site, you couldn't tell me how large n standard deviations would be for a particular amount? Let's say I gave you 100m hands and I wanted to know the chances of the figures falling in a range of 1/221 +/0 0.01% for pocket aces. That's not tricky statistical mathematics.

Obviously it's a pretty common occurance compared to things like "how often does he hit the case card to make quads with one card to come?", but all you need for that is a larger sample to get within +/- n% of the expected odds.
