Default Re: Playing online - for the birds???

That's about accurate, but I didn't analyze a million hands, jsut the 70k hands in my database. Other PokerStat users analyzed their 20k, 100k, or more databases and found nothing out of the ordinary statistically either.

The one thing that PokerStat's randomness checking tool doesn't check for is runs (for example you can be dealt AA at the expected rate, but get all your AA's in a row). It also doesn't check for situations, like if two good hands are setup against each other more often than they should, since it's impossible to analyze this without knowing everyone's hole cards.

But something else to keep in mind, if Paradise was setting up situations, they would have to do it in a way that the dealing was still random. Like remember when it gave player X an extra AA, and take away an AA later, and not just keep track of this for AA, but for every hand it sets up.
