Default Re: Pokerstars RNG (not a rigged post)

Here is a serious explanation of your friends' predicament

[ QUOTE ]
I can't argue with them as I see them getting dogged my more one, two and three outters than imagineable over the course of about 12 months.

1. Over the course of 12 months, and insane amounts of hands, of course you are going to be drawn out on by 2 outers more than you can imagine. Statistically you are supposed to be - I would be more inclined to think it's rigged if I was never drawn out on.

2. The reason they feel the amount of beats they receive is what would be considered a statistical anomaly is because of the selection bias. You don't see all of the times they were calling down with 2 outers and missed. Even when you do see them, they do not stick out in your mind because the result is what you expected, and you don't give it a 2nd thought. The only time you notice is when they hit one of their outs, and you immediately get frustrated, and the hand sticks out to you.

Does that help?
