Ace rag

robwhufc · May 15, 2006

A little observation I noticed when I first started playing, but has carried on time and time again - when you get Ace rag (or Ace anything), Nine times out of Ten you're dealt the Ace first? Or is that just me?

Rob! lol...
This is signature fodder.

lol. When i'm playing live I look down to find Pocket Aces....and i look harder and the stupid 4 looks like an A at first glance. I get so frustrated.

yeah, I get so excited then bam there is that 3 or 4. Happens with K,Q,J too.

It's simple psychology I think.

You get dealt an Ace first and get a little excited, and 'exciting' experiences are more likely to stick in the mind.

Whereas you get dealt a 4 first, your cursor begins to hover over the fold button and you promptly forget you ever saw the hand.

And this explains exactly how the "online is rigged" enthusiasts think.
They forget all the times their aces won (because it was expected), but sure as heck remember when they lost(unexpected).

So when they try and think about their experience playing online, all they can remember are the "unexpected" outcomes and thus online is rigged according to them.

Amen, brother. I am really getting sick of the newbies to online poker bitching about rigged games. Or could it really be that the huge poker sites take the time to target each newcomer and decides to reward a random individual that makes a bad call. That's go to be it!! lmao

no it is true
write down everytime you get an ace and 95% the ace will be first

I'll set the over/under at 3.

Edit: No, wait, 0.

I think your program is rigged.

I can rig it any way you like, baby.

Freddie! I am so disappointed.

And here I thought you worked out all your amazing odds in your head, using only your fingers and toes to help you along.

/me bonks jQ on the head

It's a program I wrote with the specific purpose of refuting claims like this one. It doesn't count odds for me, but instead parses hand histories and summarizes whatever it is I need summarizing. In this case, the order of the ace (since, frankly, it sucks badly to have to go through the hand histories manually).
