Re: statistical tests to show that online poker is not rigged
[ QUOTE ]
these independant tests dont test if its "rigged." they only test to see if the outcomes generated by the random number generator are distributed appropriately. so in theory, pokerstars' random number generator could pass test, while they could still rig the cards on particular hands. for the record, i dont think this is happening.

I actually have thoughts on this ... but I probalby wouldn't be able to sound very intelligent....and I definitely wouldn't be able to explain/defend any of my points...so I'll just keep quiet....
Though - NO - I don't think any site is 'rigged.'
A question of frequency of occurence of rare anomolies MIGHT be in question. (I said might - huge might - don't flame me)
