Default good Lee Jones article

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.

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.

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

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?

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. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
