Was it raised and reraised? You probably shouldn't be playing k4s unless you're a master at postflop play.

No FTP is not rigged in anyway.

Edit: Also the board pairing isn't very likely considering you have one of the kings, and they have 2 of eachothers outs.

Rigged how? They like you and set up 3way pots for you to win often?

Most people say it's rigged when they lose, so this is a first.

Considering they held most of each other's outs, not really. You were a big favorite all the way.

No you shouldn't be afraid of the spade nut flush unless villain is 0.01 AF over 3 billion hands and he's betting and raising you.

It happens just as often as live, it just seems like it happens online more because of the amount of hands you see.

Yep. Live players are always saying they see stuff online they never see live. But really they just have selective memories. You see a lot more hands like this online because you see a lot more hands. That's all there is to it.

I understand you get more hands in online. I was just thinking after I read this.

Do you think a computer shuffles the cards better than dealer,or one of those shuffle machines?

First, yes you were lucky, not that the board didn't pair, but that they held each others outs. I do hope you got in cheap (No raise or a min. raise, ahead of you) to get a cheap flop. If you payed 3-4 BB to se a flop with K/4 sooted then you were REALLY lucky. But catching a flop like that, then you've got eveything you could hope for. If you didn't like getting committed with a flop like that, then you should fold it Preflop.

On a major poker site, yes. They use the best random number generators available and it's instant.

From what I've been told it's not a shuffled deck, it just randomizes the cards as they come out.

On Stars it's a shuffled deck. On some other sites, it's a continuous shuffle.
