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

Do you also cry that this [censored] is rigged when you get delt pokcet aces twice in a row? That is roughly 49000:1 against.

Maybe your tin foil hat needs more foil?

I say that this is essentially a statistical impossibility for the typical person after just 7K hands.

Statistics don't say that things are impossible, only improbable - You know, the 'infinite number of monkeys on infinite keyboards' thing.

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. I also never imagined I would need them for an investigation like this. Also, one of the sites does not offer any HHs to begin with. However, like the rest of you, until now, I believed the sites were all legit. Since I no longer believe that to be the case I will definitely begin to store all records of all my play and will promptly post the next occurrence.

If they get cracked.

Well it hasn't happened yet, but I doubt I would become suspicious unless it happened more than 3 times within 7K hands. It would have to happen more than 3 times though because 1 of 49K is less than 1 of 100K. If it ever does happen to me, I'll let you know.

You're dumb.

2 things.

First, the only thing that is a virtual statistical impossibility is that you were correct in estimating your chance to lose in each of those hands. I would estimate that you were probably close to breakeven, and I'd be willing to wager that you were a dog in at least one instance.

Second, setting aside all the logical and probably correct arguments that it's not in PP's best interests to rig the games, consider this. If PP decided to go ahead and rig the games in favor of certian high-quality customers, the software required to execute this goal would be so incredibly complex that the entire site would bog down. Instead of getting close to 65 hands per hour, you might get 20. Seriously.
