What are the odds?
This may belong in a bad beat forum, but I'm looking for a stat/game theory whiz (Andy Block type) to give me a little insight. Not about a hand, but rather a very long stretch of what appears to fall outside expected variance (at least to my somewhat limited knowledge of the subject).
I've been keeping track of my all-ins (NL Holdem) for a long time. I've got a lot of different catagories/situations, but will just post a common situation all can relate to. Pre-flop, all-in (me or the other player all-in): under pair vs 2 over cards. The classic ("thank you Mike Sexton") race situation. We all know the pair is usually favored by a few percentage points, but basically even money. As of this writing, when I'm holding the pair, my record is 61 wins, 252 losses or 19.5% (61 divided by 313 total situations). On the other hand, when I'm holding the over cards, I've won 28 out of 199 (14%). That's a combined 17.3% in a 50-50 spot. Maybe 512 times in that situation isn't a large enough sample, but it's going to take me a LONG time to get even. I've got other much more improbable records, but believe me, you wouldn't believe me!

Re: What are the odds?
Is this live or online?
If it is online, you must close your account and open a new one for you have an "unlucky" account. Also, do not use a numeral "4" in your user name or password.. it triggers an automatic Doomswitch. If you have cashed out in the past two weeks, do NOT go all-in pre-flop... it is a classic software bug. You will lose. If your monitor's resolution is set for 1600x1200, you should only go all-in with pocket pairs AA,QQ and TT. If it is less than you should go all-in with KK, 99 and AKs. Are you getting all this? Also, if you are running pr0n in the background... do NOT watch midget pr0n while playing Omaha H/L or Animal Pr0n whilst playing Razz.. it causes a severe lag and sometimes the yellow screen of death. Most random number generators use mouse movments to determine the next card(s) to come. Thusly, I have found the formula below is 99.9% accurate. Desired Card - Mouse Movement ------------------------------ Heart - One clockwise circle and a fist pump Club - Half counter-clockwise circle; two belches Diamond - Lightly tap the mouse ON the screen thrice Spade - Touch mouse to chin repeatedly Any Ace (wireless only) - Toss mouse 40 yards east Good Luck at the tables and enjoy! |
