Message: [QUOTE="BallsASteel, post: 715528, member: 33236"] OK, here's my synopsis of the recent discord brought up. The postulation is that there are numerous potential ways online poker could be rigged out there. For our study here we are looking at whether or not sites are "juicing" the play by matching monster hands against each other thus increasing the rake and their profit. Now, to do this, we assume that A-A would show more frequently in the pocket than the statistical probability would indicate as as a measure that this indeed happening. Now, this has brought up an excellent discussion and some great analysis. Of course, we can all dissect the null hypothesis and find flaws as to whether it would lead us to any conclusive results as to: [LIST=1] [*]Is there rigging of the deal? [*]Is there true randomness in the dealing? [*]Is there cheating by players? [*]Is there cheating by the site? [*]Is there juicing by any means?[/LIST]Now, as with any study, medical or otherwise, it is not without merit to conduct a focused study so that you can answer the null hpothesis conclsively then you can go on to the next question. This is how all research is conducted. It takes time and study. The trick is, we need these results and then we need the next question to build on this. First, we need to get this question answered conclusively. Maybe the next question is, "How often does K-K come?" Then, "How often are K-K and A-A up against each other?", and later, A-K, etc. The bottom line, both sides of this dispute here have a point, but there is absolute merit to this study and it is completely inconclusive at this point. We are like a little lab starting research into a huge new field. Kudos to us... well, not really me, but you guys.;) [/QUOTE]
