1) Is it still possible or likely that Online sites can have hand algorithms, and how do they work.

[/ QUOTE ]

On the major sites this is a non-issue. However, it is certainly plausable for a fly-by-night site to try something like this. If you're playing on a big site, if the shuffler was juiced you would hear about it and the risk of DESTROYING their buisness makes it not worth it. Too many smart people collecting too much data not to notice.

2) What is the likelyhood (if anyone knows) that I am up against a crew working the same online table? Or that I am up against a guy with 4 computers, each with its own IP address etc.? I met a poker player at a new casino here in Vanc. Canada who said his buddy had just that setup at home....This kinda freaked me out. Any thoughts?

It's happened before in bigger games, those responsible were busted, refunds have been given and this is really hard to get away with over a long stretch of time. For smaller games the risk of getting caught isn't worth it given how soft the games are right now.

3) Am I paranoid or do you guys ever think these things?


[/ QUOTE ]

Everyone watches these things closely. If you have concerns or see funny hands bring them up with support. It's what your rake pays for, demand service.

No, you didn't. FWIW, I believe his replies have been the most comprehensive and enlightening replies to my original (unreasonable) question.

I do believe "labia minora" is the correct term...but IMO, I think 'meat curtains', 'piss flaps', among others has a better ring to it.

And yes, you are old. I'm 27.

For some reason I get the picture of a vagina being something I ate at Burger King. Im glad I had sex with my girlfriend this morning, otherwise this is exactly what I would be thinking about if we did it tonight.

[ QUOTE ]

I prefer referring to the physiology in its entirety as the "sweet goodness".

Ah theres the vaginas Im thinking about.

Are you talking about TigerGaming? If so, you see a lot of big hands there because so many players are seeing the flop on average. I've played there for 6 months and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
