Has FTP changed the dealing?

[novel20]

Within 24 hours, AA vs KK 3 times, all in preflop and lost all 3 times. Lost $200, $350 and $120. Also lost to AA vs 99 all in preflop and lost another $150. Also lost with KKK against 89TJ all in on turn and lost another $200.

Over $1000 bad beats and this is only at NL200. From a day which I should up a lot to a big down day (well, it is big for me.)

What would you do? It made me doubt if online poker is rigged?

Is KK the new best starting hand preflop?

[MicroBob]

I won an online tourney with 1400 players where I hit every hand in the world.

I go all-in to try to take it down against some shorter stacks.
I have QQ and board is something like 58T.

All 3 opponents call me so we have a 4-way all-in.
They turn over AA, TT and 88 or something.
Turn and river are 9J so I hit my runner-runner for the straight and get a triple-knockout.


I know this probably wasn't the exact way the hand went...but it was close (triple-knockout with QQ catching runner-runner).

Weird stuff happens.

Those who are alwaus complaining about their bad-beats and thinking it must be because the site is rigged against them somehow never fail to amaze me.
I truly find it fascinating.

out of curiosity, does anyone know what the odds of AA losing to AA are?

[BigBiceps]

<5% in real odds.

>5% in full tilt odds.

[UATrewqaz]

This is basically asking "What are the odds the board comes 4 or 5 to the flush"

yeah, but you also have to multiply .0435 by the odds of two people getting AA at a table on the same hand. it must be extremely slim, and it happened to me at absolute at a 6-max table (surprise surprise)

did you lose?

[scorer]

This is a answer we will never know completely and anybody who thinks they know 100 percent either way is foooling themselves. The question I have is not weather a site would juice action for more rake, its weather its done to create more excitement in games...
