I'm wondering if Ryan could explain how randomness is "computed".
Sometimes I have the feeling that the odds are just impossible. What are the odds for that in a table of 9 players, 2 guys have a pair of aces as their starting hands ? Or that I got two times a pair of ace as a starting hand in less than 5 min ? Dont get me wrong here. I am not whining. I am just concerned about the game experience. |

What you mentioned about the aces i have seen it only once in 9 months! but as everyone on this site i have my suspicions about the random algorithm. :D |

I found that cards that appear three or four times in one hand will appear in the next hand. I have used this knowlege as was able to win hands I normally would have folded. For example: three 7s and three 6s in one hand. The next hand I get 6 7 off suit. Someone raises, normally I would fold. The flop has a 6 7 and I win the hand. Three 9s in one hand. I get A 9 off suit. Someone goes all in. Normally I would fold. He as T T. I get three 9s and win the hand.
