Default Re: 99.99890581% chance that cheaters were operating on Absolute?

It's unreasonable to expect any statistical proof to be accessible to those uninitiated in the arts. But it's still useful. If we could come up with good statistical evidence, then this would be a threat over Absolute's head in the event they might ever want to get licensed by some real gaming commission. Also, it would convince some portion of the population that would be skeptical of the opinion of pros about what are legitimate ways of winning. Some of those convinced could be influential.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, bu the probability statistic that you reported is similar to the probability of seeing 2 players being dealt AA at the same table. Any experienced online player who has played over 15,000 or so hands is likely to see it happen. Do people go complain to the site about it or start massive threads when that happens? No. The fact is that if you play enough hands you are going to eventually see some very rare sequence of hands. You will even see some total donk suckout 5 times in a row. It will make a big impression but, given the huge amount of hands people play, it is not that unlikely. IMHO these events don't deserve the attention they are getting.

My OP in this thread is certainly not a significant part of the evidence against Absolute.
