My poker database has me convinced...

I'm willing to send them out as soon as tomorrow by whatever means if that is deemed the right time. Any input as to best way to distribute them / validate them? who do you nominate to receive them? can they be hosted? are there other dB's we can compare against?

[/ QUOTE ]

send them to vanveen.

[VanVeen]

i) try to get them hosted. JP has offered;

ii) we should actively be seeking corroborative databases from the same period from the same games. cross-posting this in the small stakes NL forum might be a good idea.

what concerns me most is the amount of time stomper would need to invest doctoring his database to resemble what he's posted. that said, it's more probable that there exists someone out there willing to do so than it is party would flub this badly (or is it?). we shall see.

This is the most annoying thing EVER. People who say "duhhhh invalid sample size" when something is 6 standard deviations out from the mean are [censored] idiots.

[/ QUOTE ]

if this was only 6 standard deviations, "duhhhhh invalid sample size" would be a totally valid argument. but this is more like thousands or millions of standard deviations or even more (it's hard to conceptualize). if this is all true, it's certain that party is/was rigged.

ok I guess I'll send to J_B to host, Vanveen if you want to be cc'd send me a pm.

[MicroBob]

If it was somehow rigged then the chances that it just happened to be rigged for this guy and ONLY this guy is kind of silly.

SOMEBODY else out there must have a similar experience.
Nobody else has spoken up yet.

... or simply no one has noticed.

[quote/]Anyone playing low stakes during these times must have noticed the extreme looseness at the tables (it was actually pretty fun). 60 VPIP / 35PFR was typical. A tag would be 40/30. The games were very slow something like 60-80 hands per hour. It seems to me that I was not the only one getting this pocket card distribution.[quote\]

i dont know of any major sites where there are these kind of stats for players. maybe one per table.

edit: having brain freeze on how to cut and quote, too tired to look it up.

ok heres a good one showing stats of "the regulars"- ie the ones I played most hands against. the stats are ridiculous. u should see the fish. This is why I think someone else must have observed what I observed.

Any form of gambling can be rigged in some format. About 2 years ago a security official from Indiana lottery found out what store had a winning 1 million dollar scratch off ticket sent to them/he shared this info with 2 other people who all were arrested at a later date. Yes sites can juice the cards for more excitement in there games/that is if they wanted to..just like full tilt does

stompin,

ahh, good ole party. man, miss that site. okay, the loose point is understood.
