Re: guy claims he knows a pokerstars programmer that rigged the rng
[ QUOTE ]
As a programmer, I see nothing extraordinary with this - but as a poker player it is disturbing to know it can be done <i>undetected!</i>

If it's rigged the way alleged, by definition hands are winning at different rates than should ordinarily be the case. How would that not show up in a statistical analysis?
Off the top of my head, three things to test for: 1) Percent of each complete five-card hand, from the worst possible in that kind of poker up to a royal flush (or A234 Badugi), that loses, splits, and wins the pot at showdown. 2) Same test for just the two-card starting hand in the hold 'em games. 3) For just the winning hands, which percent held up from the starting hand and which hit on the flop, turn, or river?
