Hey, thanks... I just remember that one scene where the big guy was knocking on the kids head saying "HELLO? MCFLY? IS ANYONE HOME?" and implying that he was not a very bright young man, and since I believe these guys don't understand what is really going on, I thought I would use that comment on them. I hope you guys don't actually get offended by it. It's just my opinion anyways, it doesn't 't mean you're actually a McFly...

The joke, which you seem to have missed, big guy, was that the big guy was the moran in the exchange.

I think some people here have certainly missed a joke...

I would need a link to thoroughly examine this situation if possible...

nice post, quoting so I can get some good entertainment later

Latest batch is pretty terrible. Trolling doesn't get much more obvious that this.

I bet it's been sent to all new players who cashed out. Not everyone will have recieved the mail. You probably have a PS.com account - did you get the mail?

It's part of a coordinated attack to get all new players to redeposit and lose money to pokerstars and their protected longer standing players.

8bb/100 over 40k hands at 10nl makes it highly unlikely I'm a loser at that stake. Like, you're talking about a 5% chance, and then there's the fact I've won at 4nl and 2nl on a different site previously too which is how I got the roll to play 10nl and 20nl to begin with. It's practically impossible for me to be a long term loser at 2nl - yet on pokerstars I am. I never get dealt a hand. I get nothing at all unless I'm about to get coolered.

The only explanation is rigging.

I'm not a successful poker player at all in terms of winning money. Over the 9 years I've played poker, I'm up a few thousand dollars in online play, and, I think, down a few thousand dollars in live play.

However, I'm successful in the sense that I have enjoyed the game, and do enjoy the game.
No, this does not make any sense.

The only thing we're talking about in this thread is the final output. If you start with something random, then make it not-random, then the final output would obviously be not-random, and the final output would be rigged. Obviously, that would be deeply unfair. Fortunately, there's no evidence that any of the major online poker sites do this.

OK. What stakes and what odds?

40k hands is nothing.


That's a graph of 3 simulations of 40,000 hands with an 8 BB/100 winrate. See how one is below the EV line the entire time? That's something that's completely, totally normal. 7,000 hands is not long term. You're full of **** and you know it. Fine, let's pretend that's correct. Now explain why they're rigging it against someone who's made them maybe $10 in lifetime rake.

because they're able to disguise it well?....mua ha ha!....exxxcellent!

Yes, I received it. No, I haven't cashed out recently. No, I'm not a new player.

Just confirming I got this mail as well, I have been supernova for the last two years.

Alright whatever maybe they did send it to more people. Seems a bit too much of a coincidence that they did it as soon as I cashed out, but meh.

If you go to http://pokerdope.com/poker-variance-calculator/ and put in 8bb/100 over 40,000 hands, it will show you the probability of been a loser at the stake is only 5.47%.

And taking into consideration I've beaten 2nl and 4nl for similar winrates over similar sample sizes on another site, and there's essentially zero chance I'm a long term loser at 2nl - unless it's rigged.

And I'm not talking about 'running below EV', which obviously happens a bunch. I'm talking about actually losing money at the stake.

To reward their longer standing players. It's probably one of the hidden benefits of moving up pokerstars VIP ladder - if you're a Bronzestar you get the **** hands, but if you're SNE you'll get dealt the nuts time after time after time. For proof of this you only have to search fo some of the names on pokerstars's VIP leaderboard on sharkscope, and you'll see pretty much all of them are in serious profit. Proof that SNE's and Supernovas get the good side of the deck.

If you have a brain that functions rationally then it shouldn't seem too much of a coincidence. If you're paranoid and delusional then it could seem that way though.

If there's one thing I'm not, then that's immature, you big smelly poop-head.

Hmmm. It's almost as if humans see patterns in random events that aren't actually there. I wonder if there's a message in that somewhere...

This should be very very easy to prove. HEM2 has a stat 'Set%' that shows exactly how often you are flopping a set

On Pokerstars I never hit any sets (unless villain hits a higher set). It's ridiculous.

I just checked, everything is normal, bad for you as I now have the ultimate proof that pokerstars is not rigged.

Cool. How did you calculate that? Was it based on something like:

Number of players on Pokerstars x
percentage of people that are ******ed x
number of times ******ed poker players get upset when they lose x
percentage of them that have nothing better to do than write pathetic emails
=
some number you pulled out of your ass

Just out of curiosity, how many of you believe in other conspiracy theories like 9/11, new world order, global warming denial, vaccinations that cause autism, flat earth, aids denial, fake moon landing, Illuminatis, underground reptile overlords etc.

Cigital responded saying they receive 6-10 e-mails a week concerning the subject of RNG fairness and Pkerstars in the e-mail response I will leave you to work out the variables in the equation.Now stop embarrassing yourself on a public forum child.

.

Yeah, I went with my read, made a non-standard play, and was right. How exactly is this relevant?

Did you take the rig into account though?
