About Randomness

Hi,

I was originally into neighborhood games and just tried online games recently. Well, on this site, random deals are present which later produced silly flops, turns and river combos not common in live brick and mortar game. Random deals on the site are said to be as random as present technology allows and actually have yielded favorable results when examined against a live deck.

Now, do you think there is a consensus among experienced casino and/or tournament players with regards to the validity of accepted poker probabilities against online play? I badly need to hear your opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Luke
Luke,

Most players will tell you that live and online probabilities are the same. The difference is that with online poker, hands are played so much faster that there appears to be a variance in the numbers. Online poker is wildly popular with many pros. If they thought it was all rigged, they wouldn’t play.
