Default Land Based Tourney Vs. Online Tourney

Do you think that the random number generators are really random? Just wanted some opinions.

I havn't played land based poker for awhile now, but i seem to get more bad beats with online tourneys than i did with land based tourneys. I don't know if it's because people just love to call or go all in with nothing in online tourneys. Sometimes when i play two games at once i get same cards and the flop and the rest of the community cards are similar. Online there is like a lucky streak for a single player who will win 3 plus hands in a row no matter what cards they play. Online tourney I've seen people get AA twice in a row which is common. I've seen AA 3 times in a row too. Maybe it's because i played so many games that it just seems that way, but i really do think getting AA two times in a row or in one orbit is common.

So what do u all think? Computers run on numbers. Are they really random??

I have the same problem. I play on Ultimatebet and it seems very "streaky". One night you make some money, and the next night you lose on AA 5 times in one hour. It seems like that is "supposed" to happen sometimes. *shrugs*

I was playing a live ring game yesterday and AA came up four times in twelve hands.Honestly I feel that online is more geniunly random than live play because it takes at least seven riffle shuffles to create a random deck and most cardrooms use only three to four.
