It's all perception. More wierd things happen because more hands are played per hour.

Playing B&M, you'll get delt ~20 hands an hour. Even if you play 40 hours a week, you might hit a straight flush maybe once a year.

Four-tabling on-line you can get delt nearly 200 hands an hour. At that rate you'll hit full houses about once an hour and a straight flush maybe once a month.

The sites don't cheat the players because they don't NEED to. They have the rake. Thety make their 5 % no matter who wins the pots. Cheating players would just kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
