Cards at Party versus Brick & Mortar

Not to sound conspiratorial, but having been to brick and mortars in AC, it is interesting how many straights/flushes/4 of a kinds/full houses/rivers occur on Party compared with brick and mortars. These are more rare at a B&M.

Does Party have its card generator independently reviewed (by a commission, accounting firm, whatever) to ensure there is no foul play? I feel somewhat secure going to a brick and mortar because the NJ Casino Commission is watching things, but as far as I know, no one is watching over Party.

are you serious?



hint: you play a lot more hands online since you can play more than one table, and party poker doesnt sit there in gibraltar shuffling a deck, gathering the cards, and telling you what they are, then taking them back and shuffling again.

Not to be rude, but more hands per hour = more boats per hour. Also playing extra tables will exacerbate the effect.

Seriously though, don't worry, Party isn't rigged, most likely, you just suck at poker.

You're right. It's a conspiracy. Party, and all the poker sites, juice the deck to keep the fish happy and the action going.

Actually, the truth is somewhat less exotic. In a B&M cardroom I play maybe 30 or 40 hands an hour. Online I play 50 or 60--per table--even more shorthanded or high-speed, so I'm seeing five or ten times as many hands, and thus, five or ten times as many big hands, and of course, five or ten times as many suckouts.

I was just asking a question. Chill. I never said that I was losing from the cards: I hit 3 four of a kinds last night, so I'm happy.

I never said it was a conspiracy. Just making an observation. I don't think it's much of a stretch to be a bit cautious when gaming at a site that is not regulated and where there is no oversight. Anyways, moving on.

I'm sure someone else has played their past 100 hands with 0 FH, 0 quads, 0 flushes, 0 straights. These type of atypical runs don't mean anything. I'm sure they happen at B&M's too if you sit there long enough.
