Default Dormant/New Pacific Poker Account?

If you have a dormant Pacific Poker account or you intend to open a new account please read below and consider participating.

I started a poll about PacP appearance VS results two weeks ago. The results, as i interpreted them, suggest that while PacP was a really juicy looking site, many folks were not earning huge pots of money. THis also mirrored my experience and I decided to quit playing there.

I had one account there that was two+ months dormant. While the poll was going on I funded it and played 281 hands of limit hold'em. Before playing I decided to log all starting hands JJ or better and here are the results: 3-AA 1-KK 3-QQ 1-JJ. One would expect 5 of these starters on average and I got 8. I didn't do the math but my guess is that's 1.5 +/- SDs out. Someone should repeat my experiment. Fell free to PM me if you need further instructions. Twenty repetitions would be better.

Me, I don't really care too much how it turns out, I'm still done with PacP.... but I would love to see any site caught cold.

Why are you posting this again? You already got a response here. I showed that your results are expected with probability 14.1%.

If you want, I can add your first paragraph to the other post, and delete this thread.
