Message: [QUOTE="ChuckTs, post: 643088, member: 467"] This is what we call variance. If you're flipping a coin, and it happens to land on heads 10 times in a row, is this because the coin is rigged? Of course not. It's because of statistical variance. The really weird occurrences will happen an infinite number of times if you run infinite hands. If you run millions of hands, they will happen within the boundaries of statistical variance. The smaller the sample, the greater the variance will be. If you lose one hand with AA vs KK it doesn't mean a damn thing. Slot machines have been proven to be programmed. Have poker sites? Nope. Sure, it's possible, but the fact that everyone's databases run within the boundaries of statistical variance means that we're nearly %100 sure they aren't programmed. I mean no offense here, but I'm not sure you understand variance. Read [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance"]wikipedia's page on it here[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
