can't be just me!!! [About shuffling algorithm]

[rad6]

It can't be just me! This new site is great and I absolutely love the new set up. The avatars are back giving us the warm friendly atmosphere we had left behind on the old site.

But what is up with the cards dealt here. Quads are coming out of the woodwork every third hand and pairs, pff, dealt four sets of pairs within the first 6 hands. Repeat cards are another thing, can't tell u how many times I get dealt the same two within one game. And don't forget the river card which will always bite u when u least expect it.

Lava, can something be done here for sanity sake!
Another thing, what is this patch program that keeps trying to download each time I enter this site.

Dont know the answers to this one Rad, I've moved it to the Technical forum though.

Cheers Jock

That's a recurring story no matter the script or poker website...

The shuffling algorithm is one of the best ones you can find and MUCH better than any real life shuffling : It means you have less chance to predict the result of a drawing than when shuffling a deck of cards.
Now there will always be such stories but please understand writting that down that is a way to feed the paranoia (sorry for the word)

It's really easy to make a very good shuffling algorithm so why should we create rigged or bugged one? Try to answer that question

I don't believe there is a reason to create a rigged algorithm. I believe that there are so many players holding marginal hands till the river that we are seeing more dramatic wins or loses. That's what happens when people are trained to play bingo.

[rad6]

not asking for rigged algorithm, just the reason behind the numerous pocket pairs and quads being dealt. Thought it was already rigged. Don't see this much is real life poker. Chances of quads are what? can't tell u how many times I have seen them at the tables. Had them myself 3 times in one game. What's the chances of the happening once. lol

oh and what is this patch program that comes up every time we long on? So far I have not been accepting it as I have no idea what it is?

Its not the Good hands Quads or whatever would be a concern of mine but the amount of times people get rivered here....It cant be paranoia when everyone is complaining about it.....It cant be possible for a R.C.G. to throw out river after river cards that will suit someone to an extent that they take out a massive pre flop hand.......It seems to be happening in every hand right now........

Sorry but I can't let you say the algorithm is rigged or bugged ( writing it is impossible to be rivered so many times is exactly the same than saying so ).
I'm closing the thread here again ( as I've done previously for the exact same stories about previous network and older first script ) and copy the same answer :

- People will always have the feeling to play against the dealer one time or another.
- Again : It is really easy to create a perfect shuffling algorithm on a poker website. Any programmer who have used a random function could confirm that point so please ask yourself why it should be voluntary rigged?
- If you really want to start such stories : I will ask you to record at least 100 rivers (including the ones where you aren't rivered) and annalyse seriously those before launching any thread like the actual one. Using only your own feeling will lead nowhere otherwise.

I can't let such stories on forum which is a public place without censorship ok but not a tool to focus newbies on wrong ideas. I hope you understand
