How often does this happen to you??
 

I really can't believe I'm making this post. It's honestly very unlike me to post something like this....but it happens so often and it just happened again, I just can't believe it....

How often do you get dealt a wired pair, you miss the flop...then the VERY next hand the flop that gets dealt has a card that would "in theory" give you a set if you only had the same cards as the previous hand??

I've been paying attention to this because it honestly happens to me ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I mean....it doesn't happen 15 or 20% of the time...it literally seems to happen to me 80 to 90% of the time I get dealt a pocket pair. I don't believe in the "online poker is rigged" crap, but this happens to me too often for me to ignore it.

I'm posting the most recent example of this out of my HH's. Flame on....I deserve it for this absolutely horrid post....but I just can't believe how often this happens to me and I had to post it.

lol. I wonder how you can dealt the 4 of spades in the first hand, and yet it come up on the flop in the second hand too! Crazy!

Me neither. This is worse than "poker is rigged" posts. Well done.

Re: How often does this happen to you??
 

You should obviously adjust your pattern mapper to take this into account.

Re: How often does this happen to you??
 

Well done, sir. You impress me.

He certainly did. There is hope for him in that the specific choice of wording implies some possibility that he will learn not to trust this erroneous perception.

I was just trying to remind him that there's no way the world is in fact as it seems to him. But "no it doesn't" was quicker.

Math still have to leave room for Luck.

Re: How often does this happen to you??
 

You should keep an eye on this when you're multitabling, too. I bet you find that when you get a hand on one table, the flop on one of the other tables "always" woulda coulda shoulda hit it perfectly.

Re: How often does this happen to you??
 

Congrats on making the dumbest post ever. It's a pretty tough feat to accomplish around here.
