Now I have noticed that for sure! Many many many times am I dealt cards at one table just like you said and my hand hits at the other table! Why I don't know but I have been watching that very closely [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] And have been able to use that to my advantage

It actually is about as 'crazy' to think that PS is rigged in the way you describe on PS as opposed to a site that doesn't use mouse input. It's like saying that my chances of having sex with Lindsay Lohan are better than already having sex with Natalie Portman because I live closer to Lindsay at the moment. Or better yet, it's a bit like saying that me already having had sex with Lindsay Lohan [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] is more likely than having had sex with Natalie Portman [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] b/c we live closer to each other. I'm still just as 'crazy' to think either one will or has happened. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

On the other hand, I don't think you're crazy, I think you're brain is too good at attempting to identify patterns and conclude causual relationships from them. This is one BIG reason we can even make $$ at poker == playing correctly often goes against our natural way of patterning the world. There is *no* cause and effect of losing with AA ten times in a row -- the events are all completely unrelated.

Yeah, I got AA [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] on two tables at the same time last night 3-handed on both tables as the short stack. At first I thought nothing of it except that I had gotten lucky and was happy about my good fortune [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

However, when I proceeded to win each SNG heads up at the *exact* same moment, I knew something fishy was going on [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img].

After a lot of careful contemplation I'm pretty sure that due to my 7 OOTM in a row earlier in the day [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img], Party Poker wanted to keep me spending money on their site and intentionally saved my *ss as a short stack 3 handed [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. They knew I was about to quit poker for good due to my bad run and deep frustration [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img].

I e-mailed their support about it earlier today but couldn't believe that they not only denied my allegations [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img], but then suggested that getting AA at the same time and winning at the same time should have made my day -- but how can I enjoy it when I know their cheating [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]?. They obviously don't play nearly enough poker to realize that these things just don't happen live (I've played over 1,000,000 hands [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] live btw so I know what I'm talking about) and that they were being way too obvious. I hope they know people are starting to catch onto them and change their ways [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img].

Suffice it to say, my $$ is no longer with Party Poker and I will only be playing live games from now on that aren't rigged [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].

Marcotte, that is hilarious.

I had to let you know that I laughed out loud to hear that this happened to you. Hope you've learned to change your res, unless you like the random poker acts now and again.

did you ever think the reason this doesn't happen live is because you don't 2-table live? thus making it impossible.
