Default Different probabilities on different sites?

I know this sounds like a _really_ dumb question, but are there differences between sites? I've been a consistent winner on Paradise for over a year now, but whenever I go somewhere else I lose. I've tried Pacific, Party and Betson and I can't seem to win there. I seem to do OK on Pokerstars, but the jury is still out on that site.

It just seems like there's a different "feel" to Paradise. Not as many bad beats, the stretches of cold cards aren't as deep or as long, et c.

Anybody else have the same experience?

Well, in the last 50 hands at eurobet I got AA 3 times, but I've had 192 hands at Empire without getting KK or AA. So, not only are the probabilities different between sites, but the probabilities are vastly different even between different skins. That's why I play at eurobet, and that's why I'm a winner and you're all losers.

i'm not quite clear on what you are trying to tell us yet

is Paradise fixed so that you win or are the others fixed so that you lose?

if you are being serious, I feel really sorry for you. How about playing 10k hands at both sites and then checking how many times you got each hand...wanna bet on the results?
The probabilities are not different...the players are. If you are a winner at one place, and not at another, it could either be just a bit of variance, or you are not adjusting to the competition correctly.
If you need an example of this, go play at the games on Absolute for a week, then switch over to Party...you're going to have to adjust.

basically the point he's trying to get at is that online poker is rigged. Thank you, we all know.

Are you wondering if the basic laws of mathematics and probability change depending upon which online casino you're using?

Or do you think some sites have more of some magical luck quality than others?

Or are you wondering if they are fixed, so that the cards aren't properly random?

i think paradise playes with 52 cards and most of the other sites only use 51 (typically they don't use the 7 of spades).

This does slightly skew probabilities and such.
