Default Re: How can I explain to ppl that online sites are not rigged?

Here is the best way to show that such hands are not evidence of rigged sites:

Sit your friend down and for several hours deal out 10-handed poker. Every time a similar hand shows, tell your friend that this is evidence that live poker is rigged.

I play live games every week. Such hands happen just as much (if you adjust for hands per hour).

Just out of interest as I am not entirely sure how the RNG works. Has the whole hand been randomly generated, ie Is it one set of cards which include everyones hole cards and all community cards. Or as each card is dealt, is the next one chosen at random at that precise time.?

It depends on the site. PokerStars sets the deck at the beginning of each hand. Many other sites have a continuous shuffle - the cards are continuously shuffled during a hand; each card dealt is randomized from the whole remaining deck.
