Default PokerRoom is rigged!!!111 (Two ultra-low prob boards)

Just sat down for a session for a session of Omaha 8 at Poker Room. Very first hand:

Flop: 222
Turn: 2

5th hand of the session:

Flop: 666
Turn: 6

Odds of turn and flop being quads: 20824/1.
Odds of turn/flop quads twice within 5 hand period: 4.3 million to 1.

Clearly, Poker Room is rigged. The fact that they've had over 1 billion hands dealt on the site is of no consequence.

You think that's bad, I was playing on party the other day and held 56d and flop came Ks8d2c!

I mean come on! the odds of Ks8d2c flopping are 1 in 19,600.

Then the turn came Qh. The odds of the board coming Ks8d2cQh are 1 in 230,300.

Rigged!

AA is at least a 4.39 to 1 favorite to KK. The odds against AA losing ten in a row are at least (1/5.39)^10 =~ 20.7 million to 1.
