Can you explain the best way to put them together then? Do you have to export then import back? Cos obviously I still want them in hem afterwards.

You asked, and I'm bored so I'll indulge you. It isn't pedantic to appreciate simple legibility, and I'm being pretty forgiving below.

And forget the "but you play 1000x as many hands on line" crap, it doesn't wash. I also find it funny[,] how everyone who is against the idea of rng's randomise things way too extremely from one end of the scale to the other[,] are those who run like god, and obv those who think there's something in it...run like shyt.

Hence my comment: I'm picturing spittle spray on the screen, loud banging on the keys, yelling while posting.....

Take a deep breath, remain calm, and at least type coherent sentences, and your argument will instantly have a bit more credibility.

I have poker tracker, under database management there is an option to export your hands, it shouldn't affect your base database at all. It doesn't remove them. I'm sure HEM has a similar function.

Oh, and should I take your lack of response to mean you are retracting your lie that every single hand at Poker Stars results in a straight or flush?
Beside a couple of obvious typos and slang which only extremely pathetic people who can't get laid would point out, would you care to explain wot (<<<< yes deliberately misspelled cos I fkn can ) is incorrect about "also have", "their's", "that we can go" HAHAHAHA, and the position of those commas?

Their is already a possessive, so no apostrophe is required. As for slang, if "emselves" was intended, then it should be 'emselves, and I have no idea what ye is supposed to be - I assume you meant yea or yeah? I sure can't get ye to sound like yeah.

I didn't point out the rest of the ones you're asking about, and I don't really feel like wasting even more time on it, so I'll let spade explain them if he cares to. Like I said, I don't usually bother, but you asked.

And I'll ask you again, should I take your lack of response to mean you are retracting your lie that every single hand at Poker Stars results in a straight or flush?

If you have to say you are perfectly calm then you probably aren't. Your posts sound like you are on severe tilt.

I can't imagine they'd be boring given how many bad beats and action hands they will show. Why not be the first to make claims like yours and actually back them up!
I agree, lets see some hand histories or post your video footage on Youtube. I am all for seeing proof.

Really don't know what's creepy about it. Yeah, the grammar nittery was a little silly and I usually avoid that, but he asked, so I couldn't resist.

As for the rest, well, I've confronted him on two bold-faced lies. But he's illustrated once again for me the reason I very rarely post in this thread any more. Guys like him just argue the points they want to, and ignore the rest. Of course he hasn't bothered to respond either time I've pointed out that he's lying. So yeah, probably time to step back from the thread again. Nothing but aggravating trying to have a conversation or debate with someone like that.

In the real world the owners of any large company tend to pretty much ignore the fringe conspiracy guys (whether this guy is genuine or not does not matter). Frankly, I am kind of surprised that Josem responds to many of these guys. Not really sure what he ever hopes to accomplish and it seems like an exercise in futility from a business standpoint, since riggedologist/conspiracy nuts tend to drag down any conversation, which is another reason most large companies ignore them (and Michael Moore...)

Others here respond for entertainment value. That's why the whole "shill" nickname is kind of silly, as participating here is exactly what a real shill would never do for all of the above reasons.

Your perception of how a large company would behave seems a bit off Donko if you think most even care about real or fake paranoid extremists (whatever their issue is). Site owners don't care about riggedologists, the stuff we see here does not even come close to the completely insane stuff they get via email anyway.

That person, whether genuine or level troll, seems like just the type of underdog you can root for, so let's see some more support! Don't let him fall into the clutches of the Superbots.

He has another identity on here for business posts, and I don't think I've seen it in this thread. He was a 2+2er way before he went to work for a site.

In the last 3 years of ME coverage on ESPN, I've seen 2 different people get knocked out with KK against two other players who each got AA, and I've seen a dude with quad aces lose to a royal flush. I've never seen anything even close to that online.

I saw David Sklansky on TV in one of those heads-up shootouts last year (could have been an older rerun), get AA five times in less than an hour, against one opponent (one of the women, I've forgotten which). I've never seen anything close to that online either.

It's certainly not a business decision to participate here

I participate here in my own time, and certainly am not paid by PokerStars to discuss this stuff here. You could probably map how I spend my time by the timings of my posts.

I post here for the same reasons that everyone else participates in this thread. I find it interesting and a little enjoyable. I find the issues involved fascinating.

In my own time, I also am involved in a bit of politics stuff and other activities that probably don't make a huge difference to making the world a better place.

It's much easier to rig the deal live.

This is not a car factory where you can see the wheel getting attached to the axel, and the axel to the suspension. The RNG is taking place inside a computer.

Let's say that you ran a random number generator on your home PC. How would you verify it? Certainly not by just standing there and looking at the electrons move around the PC. You'd verify it by taking the results and doing some statistical analysis. Not only is that the only way to actually check the thing, it means having 24/7 physical access to the PC is irrelevant: you only need to look at the end logs and review that.


Well, the idea that some guy looking at a screen 24/7 is relevant here is really weird in my mind. Not only would that probably be the world's most boring job, it'd also be pretty ineffective.
omg I rofl'd so hard
