Have everyone check all-ins in their PT db. See if they see the same anomolies.

Please be more specific. I have X hand histories for STTs that I have never bothered to import into PT. What do I do, exactly?

This explains your downswing Pineapple. I suggest you switch sites and start shipping the dough.

Furthermore, we found that when two players held an ace, one or both of the remaining aces would appear on the board over 30% of the time. This is a huge discrepancy, nearly double the total of about 19% expected.

30% is nearly double 19%? since when?

Is it really a surprise that a site with banners everywhere that say "Onlinepokersucks.com" is running this story? This site is about as unbiased as FoxNews.

So am I. However, if there really is a statistical anomaly in the Stars deal, it doesn't necessarily mean the site is intentionally "rigged." It could just be that their rng sucks. For example, the cards could be dealt at the expected frequency but not be statistically independent.

I'm not claiming that's the case, but in any event, I'd like to see all the sites somehow provide more comprehensive and objective evidence of a fair deal.
