i play on pokerstars but im just curious on why does it seem like people make BIG hands all the time such as making the nuts or second nut all the time when i play at the casino i dont make the nuts that often nor do the people i play with so im just curious on why that happens. great vid btw!

you play a lot fewer hands live than you do online. You simply haven't had the opportunity to make all the big hands at the casino.

Q : Are online pokers' card generator's even attempting a simulatation of randomness?

[PokerStarsdotTV]

@FletcherHabit at PokerStars the "randomness" of our cards dealt are tested statistically by independent companies. I expect the same is true for all other sites, but I can't say for sure.

@shipit2008 Here you dont get to see all the hands played. Just the most interesting ones. You can see on start it was hand 36 but you just saw few hands. Cheers.

"I guess it worked out the way it was supposed to"

That's not what a coin flip means... a tie on a coin flip hand is under 1%

@FletcherHabit Its pseudo random.

wtf is with these rivers, it's completely outrageous- this would NEVER happen that much in a real life poker tournament final table. ever.
