Message: [QUOTE="SlowcalaPro, post: 688572, member: 32236"] Like I said, counting the number of times you get specific hands wont tell you anything. The only stat that will tell you if online poker truly is on the up and up is the expected probability of a hand winning versus the actuality of the hand winning. And even then, there are variables in the actions of the players that account for so much of this stat, that it would be impossible to prove one way or the other, without just dealing a million hands and everyone staying in to showdown. But thats not really poker is it? The important thing to remember is this. If its online, its run by a computer. And if its run by a computer, it can be controlled by someone, somewhere. That doesnt mean that it is, just that its POSSIBLE. Even live poker can be manipulated. But its a much harder trick to pull off when youre seated in front of the 9 other people youre trying to cheat. [/QUOTE]
