Thought this was a great article by Lee Jones in this month's Card Player. It's basically a very polite (and persuasive) smackdown to all the "online poker is rigged" people out there (probably written after Lee got his billionth "your site is rigged" e-mail).

Lee Jones is obviously just trying to cover up the fact that his site is rigged. Nice try Lee! Where are FLFishy guy and Gabyyyyyy when you need them? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I've been a beneficiary of one of those 989-1 shots on Stars, so Lee can rest easy that those are happening too.

In his 989-1 shot example he forgot to mention that running deuces splits the pot. Sure you didn't win, but you didn't lose either.

[/ QUOTE ] He specifically says it is 989-1 for the QQ to defeat KK. That is correct. Yes, 22 would cause a push but that is not the point of the article and still doesn't make anything he said incorrect. You guys really need to start cutting Lee some slack. |

Online poker is definitely rigged. I flopped 4 of a kind and got beat on the river by a straight flush. You know how unlikely that is?
edit: Thanks for the link. Good article. |

[/ QUOTE ] Live games are definitely rigged. The first money hand in my life, I was dealt a pocket pair and flopped quads. Oh it was quad 4's no less. You know how unlikely that is? |

Lee would rather write a simulation to estimate the probability of being dealt a deuce than do the math? Ugh.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I'm sure it took less time to code the simulation than to use the binomial distribution function on a TI calculator or EXCEL or a stats package.
