I haven't been keeping all my hand histories because I've been impoving at such a rapid rate, the early playing is not relevant to my ability now.

And you do have a girlfriend, she just lives in Canada so we wouldn't know her, right?

A good programmer can do anything he/she wants.

What you are describing is the process we all believe exists. I am saying that if you were correct, I would not have experienced a 1 of 100K event 3 times in 7K hands. The possibility is so remote, that anyone that isn't mildly suspicious of these events in combination with a business that is unregulated, unaudited etc... is very naive. I'm sorry if that is insulting, but you are either living in a section of the world where people behave a lot differently than the world I am used to, or you are naive. Heck, I may just be the dumbass that experienced a 1 in a million event(or whatever it is), but given the game and the conditions I'd prefer to err on the side of caution instead of wishful naivety.

Y'know, I think Mojo might be a shill for the poker sites! Y'know, come on here, ranting and raving about how it's fixed, and we all think, "If a crazy MF like this thinks it's fixed, there's NO WAY it is!"

By the way, Mojo, to paraphrase "Jerry McGuire", "You had me at 'nasty.'"

"For example, patients suffering from paranoid-type symptoms – roughly one-third of people with schizophrenia – often have delusions of persecution, or false and irrational beliefs that they are being cheated, harassed, poisoned, or conspired against."

I pretty much assumed this was the Official Thread Ender. Why are we still talking about this?

Alright, I just can't help myself. I'm pretty sure I'll regret it.

It just so happens that I am a good programmer, and I can tell you with authority that the software needed to do what you propose (select particular opponents and deal them extra +EV situations) would be very complex, and would slow down the system.

it's pretty obvious that you don't know dick about statistics

if you take ONE specific 7K hand sample, then you are unlikely to experience the aberration. if you take a 700 million hand sample, it should be trivial to find one 7K stretch in there where your 1/100K event happens 3 times, because there are so many 7K hand stretches to choose from.

in fact, if the cards follow a distribution, which they do, then you would be able to set a sample size in which it is virtually guaranteed that you will find your longshot event happening 3 times over 7K hands.

your problem is you're looking at the wrong set of hands as "the sample". that's EVERY HAND PARTY DEALS, not your tiny 7K stretch. I'm sure I have 7K stretches where it's happend 3 times, and times where it hasnt happened at all. I'm sorry you got the [censored] end, but it happens. over the extremely long run, it follows a random distribution.

Thread over. and you didnt even stick it in her pooper.

Gee and I thought a few people that posted responses might be shills for a certain group of people that have benefitted from the poker explosion by selling books. I could see why they woundn't want any scams exposed.

Isn't it random how randomly random events occur?

Your theory is as good as this movie.
