well not really.. but i think its funny that i get my money in with the best of it and lose... then when i go with the worst i win????? weird.. maybe thats why so many donkeys play online cuz they are rewarded for bad plays.
LOOK AT THE HANDS --- starting with me getting crippled.

DonkSlayer82 - if you don't have something constructive to add, why add anything at all?
t4t wcps - you're missing the point. the first hand was AKs. the next few hands were all-ins due to the almost zero chip stack. but those junk hands win. then another quality hand loses to a junk hand.
I truely believe the game is NOT random. I've been playing poker for 35 years and have never seen the wacky things that happen playing online.
I think the online sites have things programmed to cause lots of action because that's what the players want and more action means more money for the site.
thank you Jwconrad.. he missed the point of this blog.
but online poker is still different that live in regards to the deck.
online= no burn "kill cards" also a random number generator decides next card meaning all draws possible.. as in a deck of cards.... they may not be.. due to shuffle order... although they are still considered "0uts"
I ran all the hands through an odds calculator and here are the odds of you winning each hand: 73%, 36%, 37%, 34%, 18%, 35%, and 65%. I just don't see how you can claim that online poker is rigged based on these hands. At best you are about 3 to 1 and at worst you are a 2 to 1 dog. The 18% is for the four way hand.
You seriously think these companies would risk million dollar lawsuits by rigging their software to help a few people win some hands? Please...
People get lucky streaks live just as often as they get them online.
I also thought this was funny:
Duck0705 said, "hang in there honey"
HoneyStackZ said, "tryin to"
HoneyStackZ said, "but people gettin lucky"
HoneyStackZ said, "on me"
first one however seemed pretty normal
i said that cuz my AJ lost to A9.. he hit runner straight..
my 88 lost to K7s....
then my AK lost to KJ
best of luck to you..and stay away from AK...!
christian leattner should be a shoe in for the hall of fame.
