Message: [QUOTE="MARCANE, post: 5580309, member: 427731"] For as long as I have played I have always heard the it's rigged, has to be rigged thing. Along with the it's just luck and chance stuff Back about a decade ago, just before the crash within the poker world. I did a math experiment. I spent about a week jotting down notes on how many people were logged into Full Tilt, and number of hands being dealt per hour. Across a variety of stakes, games, time of day. I was confident that I had a solid general idea of how many hands were being dealt to how many players, on average, per day. I'm old and can't recall exact numbers, but the numbers were staggering! Hundreds of thousands of people were being dealt something like two million hands per 24 hour period......Think about that. Of all people, poker players, for the most part, have a grip on statistics, odds and probabilities. Something like 86 or maybe 88% of the time AA is dealt, it will be the winning hand. For that to be absolute, and we know it is, AA has to be, has to be cracked 12 to 14% of the times it is dealt. by that same token, 72os has to be the winning hand something like 21% or close to that, how many times it doesn't get mucked is another story. The number of how many bad beats absolutely have to happen, relative to 2 million hands a day being dealt, everyday, is phenomenal! Okay, yes, I got my ass kicked all day today. I know only too well how much it sucks being on the losing end of those percentages. However, it's all good, remain calm and poker on. Brought to you by the alcohol fueled ramblings of MARCANE.......PEACE, may the flops be friendly and the rivers gentle.......;) [/QUOTE]
