Is it just me or does merge love to have huge setup hands right before and after break? I notie they also tend to have the bigger stack suckout quite often how many times can you lose to a 3 outer on the river before u snap?

you could have said "Merge is rigged" ... but I have to give you some style points for the way you said itQuote:

There's a balancing act here where you keep both sides (depositors and non depositors) actively playing and continually generating more and larger raked hands.Quote:

Are you serious...so you think it's rigged. I don't understand why if you think it's rigged you continue to play pokerQuote:

These sites are in it to make as much money as possible and while its the idiots who play terrible hands and get rewarded. The sites im sure have the programming set for max profit, meaning the rng is set up to promote gambling, even if its stupid gambling..
On the side tho if these sites odds were anywhere near the same as live there wouldnt be half the players playing that there is but there are alot of players(they must have money) who just like to gamble and ive had some horrible beats live as well.. Hows that for flip flopping LOL
And that's the difference between a losing player and a winning player. Losing players claim it's rigged because they can't figure out ways to win, winning players know what variance is and play through the swings.Quote:

My roi is on the plus side and my profit but i still complain from time to time LOL usually its just the heat of the moment kinda thing LOL
No, the RNG does make true randomness. Live play does not, there is variation on how different dealers shuffle.Quote:

I don't recall saying the word rigged at all in my post .. I asked what the chances are .. I have hit 4 or 5 royals myself but I still believe the odds of that have to be better than 3 pocket pairs with only 4 people ..Quote:

Live most of my turnys are any where from 50 to 200 players where as online thats a very small field and the action is much quicker so yes you will see more bad beats...
We will truly never find out that online poker is rigged....I feel it could be but we only complain about online poker when we ge bad beated....but do we complain when we hit a 1 outter on the river? its only rigged when we lose lol....but im the same way, online poker has made me go insane a few nights.....
The odds of hitting a Royal Flush in Holdem are: 0.000001539% of the timeQuote:

The odds of 2 pp in 4 handed play in Holdem are: 17.63% of the time
The odds of 3 pp in 4 handed play in Holdem are: 3.109% of the time
The odds of 4 pp in 4 handed play in Holdem are: 0.548% of the time
Those odds are assuming you have 2's and your opponents have higher pocket pairs. Because the math is complicated enough to figure out those calculations, I have not taken into consideration of your opponents having the same hand (i.e., 2 having Aces and another have say 8's or something)
The odds of being dealt pocket 2's in a 4 handed game 5.9%, and in reality it doesn't matter if it's heads up or 10 handed. The odds of getting a pocket pair are always 1 in 16 or 5.9%. The odds calculated above again are the chances of those pocket 2's being beat by a larger pocket pair pre-flop.
And since you're wondering it and to prove my point even further that this isn't that rare, let's assume you were dealt J's. The odds of you being beat preflop using the same calculations as above are:
The odds of 2 pp in 4 handed play in Holdem are: 4.408% of the time
The odds of 3 pp in 4 handed play in Holdem are: 0.194% of the time
The odds of 4 pp in 4 handed play in Holdem are: 0.00008565% of the time
So even there, the odds of getting deal pocket Jacks in a 4 handed game and being up against 3 larger pocket pairs is still less then that of getting a royal flush. Hence, getting dealt a Royal Flush in poker is less common then the above scenarios.
I wrongfully said the odds of getting 2's are 5.9%, in reality that is any pocket pair. My bad! If it makes a difference to anyone the odds of being dealt pocket 2's is 0.45% or 1 in 220 handsQuote:
