A unique feature for a pokersite
 
I have an idea that I think would get the first site that applies a huge amount of new regulars.

In a survey at one of the biggest swedish pokerforum the Question was about fairness/rigg. It showed that roughly 50% did not think the cards were dealt absolutley random.

What if a site implemented a display in the cashier that showed how well one is doing with draws, sets and all-inns vs expected value? It would not be much harder than saving handhistories at the users CPU? Then show how many % above or below expected value one are regarding draws and how many $ one are above or below expected value in all-inns.

* all-inns vs Exp value
* pktpairs flopping set when seen flop vs exp value
* flushdraws getting there on turn vs exp value
* flushdraws getting there on river vs exp value
* open enders getting there on turn vs exp value
* open enders getting there on river vs exp value

I think it would be useful regardless of what one is thinking about rigg/fairness of the sites. You would get a good idea if you play great or just running hot (Something like the pokerEV luckmeter in another thread but more exact).

Why would any site not like to get a big share of the 50% that feel unsure about the fairness of pokersites (if they have a truly random carddistrubution)?

the ppl complaining about the swongs play maybe 2k hands a year, the samplesize would be too small.

2nd, u dont wanna tell people who won 100$ and think they can play that they just had an upswing.

customer support would be answering 300% more emails from ppl complaining that they didnt meet their expected value and the site is rigged.

pokerev.com has this for all-ins. I think there's like a setometer or something you can download as well.

What I'd like to see is a more complicated version of pokerev. Like, more than just all-in equity. Say you bet the flop and turn and get sucked out on the river. pokerev.com doesn't count this hand because it's not all-in, but in reality you just had an obvious downswing and if the program added these types of hands then it would be more accurate as to how bad or good you are running.

How about a car that comes standard with a built-in coffeemaker?
