Default Re: does anyone ever find themselves wondering if a site is rigged?

if you play thousands of hands, some 1:1,000 things will happen.

On Stars, I lost AA three times sequentially in one afternoon, h/u at the flop each time. . . I went 25 hands at a short-handed O/8 table without winning even half a pot. . . . I played 45 hands of holdem without touching a pot -- not even having the blinds folded to me.

All of these are roughly 1% prospects. But they happen. Occasionally we win five pots in a row. Or we take down a 1-outer on the river. Those things happen, too. It's just random flutter.

Look at pi over 10,000 digits and you'll see some digits repeated in strings (3333, 44444, etc.) Odd, but not a lot of folks are posting about pi being rigged. In general, try to play poker for stakes where you can regard the periodic weird card runs as random noise in your monthly win rate.
