They have $1 rebuy satellites to the Sunday millions? cool im going to be rich.

20-30 hands in 15 minutes in a MTT? I could be wrong, since I've never played the $1 rebuy Sunday Millions satellite, but that seems waaaaaay too high. Okie doke. So now you want to compare 30 hands against 450,000 to see if there's anything wrong with the stats? And now sample size has just gone completely out the window. Now you're just saying "If you compare any of the starting tables in a satellite to the final table of the Sunday Millions, you'll see more premium hands". The $1 hyper turbos aren't raked at all, so it seems like a lot of work for them to go through to maybe make $100, when they could easily have a few $5+.50s or something where they got rake from the satellite and from the tourney. What do you think of Cigital's audit of PokerStars hands for the entire month of December 2008?

yes you are wrong 20 or 30 is not too high its a turbo rebuy. If you havnt played it you cant comment can you bright spark, if your going to criticise at least have half a clue what your talking about.
As far as the sample size goes, i said whatever is significant im not a mathematician, im a lawyer, i leave the math to whomever decides it might be worth some statistical analysis. At no point did i say just compare 3o tables from one satelite, i said thats what one game approximatley has, however many of these games are needed for comparison isnt the point, the point is analysis is needed.. Once again bright spark you missed the point. the option to select as many final tables of the sunday millon is there, select 50 FTs, and the first 15 minutes from each, whatever sample size would count to make a difference??
Furthermore the idea that it wouldnt be worth them rigging a $1 satelite is crazy, the point your missing, is they rig all there games and this one game would be a way to prove it. You have missed the point, i fear its not the first time and wont be the last.

I HATE EXPLAINING MYSELF TO DONKS!
READ IT READ IT AGAIN THEN KICK YOURSELF IN THE HEAD NUMPTY!

Wow, name calling already. Awesome. Fair enough, you did say we could compare the first 30 hands from "any or all" final tables. That only gives us 1,520 hands per year to compare with. We'd need 6 and a half years' worth of Sunday Millions final tables to even start to be able to compare them. Aw, you've gone from "rigtard with a semi-provable theory" to just all out rigtard on me.

By the way, the next $1+R hyper-turbo to the Sunday warm up is starting in 8 minutes. I'm going to watch a couple tables and count how many hands they get in before the rebuy, just so I can have "half a clue what your[sic] talking about".

Watched tables 1, 2, and 3 of Tournament 137958358, 3 broke about halfway through the rebuy period with 8 hands, 1 had 20 hands, and 2 had 18.

I still think 30's a bit on the high side, but I don't have a huge sample size.

I also didn't really see any sort of evidence for Stars needing to rig the hands to create action, since most people were just shoving any two cards. It's not like a starting M of 6ish leaves a lot of room for postflop play.

just went to a rebuy $1 turbo sat to sunday warm up, during the rebuy period, randomly picked a table and this is what i saw.

pocket JJ,TT,88,AQ suited and A8.
a nice 5 way all in hand, all the tables are the same, have you ever seen that at a final table of the sunday mill, nooooooooo.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS I GUESS.

This just in: Play is different at a $1 rebuy than a final table where each spot you move up earns you thousands of dollars. More at eleven.

The play is different, not just due to the prize pool, but, because the hands are different,
just compare some of these turbo sat hands with those from the replay of sunday mills,you can see the hole cards in the replay.

lol zomg somebody got A8 at the same time a few other people had middle pairs? You must be joking. Totally rogged.

erm zomg psml lmfao, donk wtf u on, its at every table, every orbit, zomg omg omg omg, i just peed in your mommas butt hole, zomg omg omg lol

just keep stacking off with A8 rigtard, the rest of the 2+2 community will love you

the play is different because the players are horrendous

Always a yank with an attitude problem, seriously at your age, over 30 are we? You still got a chip on your shoulder, mind you, what with eating so many you probably look like a walking potato! You use words like zomg and rigtard as a grown man? Your nation has enough problems speaking correct English as it is, without you adding insult to injury. You should look up revocation in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up aluminium. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix ize will be replaced by the suffix ise. You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.
Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up vocabulary. Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up interspersed. There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad or unitelligable language as often.

Have a nice day!

Take a lot of your time to prove your theories and then write a manifesto based on them with more data then "lookat this hand."

Noone is taking you seriously because your claims make no sense even among the OMGRIGGZORS crowd.

Hint, they would not rig $1 rebuy tourneys where they make not a single cent on the rebuys anyway.

Hint, they do not have to do anything to encourage action in $1 turbo rebuys, most look at that as a gamble shove fest anyway.


Your beliefs make no sense even if rigging was taking place. Have faith that those who run these companies will at least rig it in a way that

1) Actually makes them money

2) Would be relatively hard to detect


Your theories fail both even if you believe in them because of what you saw.


Your evidence consists of

1) Your selected memories, and a cherry picked hand history

2) What you feel is probably happening

3) A lack of understanding the context of the tournament in terms of action


Plus you do not come across as a candidate for Mensa, which never helps.


Still if it makes you happy, write a blog, make a youtube video and stand on a soap box on a corner with a billboard sign with your beliefs. Perhaps keep them written on little notes strewn all over your room.

All the best.

lol

no u

Also, the English spoken in the UK now is actually a butchered version of Middle English itself which was a butchered version of Old English, so saying that you speak "correct" English and American's speak "incorrect" English is just stupid. BTW, I say this as neither an American nor a Brit.

there's another option?

let's get this back to the Golden Tee anyway.

I didn't actually read any of his posts, but if he's really ripping on people for correct language usage while he can't even locate the enter key, that's pretty awesome

I think the earlier courses play so much easier than the courses you unlock. It's like they are rigging it early on, so you spend more quarters to get those locked courses.

those bastards!

You know what really started all that:

Oh man, Gauntlet is hella rigged!
