My First Day At Party (low content)

Just a bit of a brag thread for my bonus whoring. After clearing the Cryptos and Paradise showing a $740 profit ($320 from bonus) I now have enough for the max deposit at Party.

I signed up there today for a 30% up to $150 bonus, and got to work. Played 3 tables of .50/1 for a few hours. Cleared 450 of the 1050 require raked hands. Showed a nice little profit of 72BB [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I love the players at Party. I had some pretty amazing hands though.

Look at this

635 Total Hands
6 AA
12 KK
9 AK

It seemed every time I saw a K come as my first card, another A or K would be along the way. Too bad this wasn't during the Interpoker promotion.

As a side note, I hit 200 posts today, and am now an enthusiast. Not that its a very significant landmark, but hey, its a start.

Once again, I feel I need to thank the forum, as there is no way I would have done close to this well on my own.

So THATS where all the aces went. I played 700+ hands today and saw aces once. Good thing they made boss set....

Sounds like Party gave you the new player deck. It's all random damnit!

What other funny myths float around?

They are only myths on most sites.

I am sure there are some sites that use those 'myths' quite regularly.

A guy in my tourney on empire tonight was non-stop bitching about how 'empire always rewards bad play' and stuff to that effect.

There is one for SNG's about short stacks always hitting their hands.

How are you sure?

"635 Total Hands
6 AA
12 KK
9 AK"

If this were part of a rigorous experiment looking for a new player bias it would be, statistically speaking, a jaw dropper. These data are roughly 3+ standard deviations away from expectation, a <1% shot.

As a counter, I opened an Intertops account and got no such run of cards last week.

Yea, I was thinking this would be pretty far outside a single SD. I think I will track my first 1000 hands at each of the different Party skins as an experiment. I'll let you all know the results, but that probably won't be until near the end of the month - I'm taking my time with the whoring.
