Live game this weekend at a casino two hands that if seen on the internet would have had my opponents screaming about a rigged deck and calling me a bot....
1) Had QQ up against KK preflop...was very aggressive and lucky...turned a set of Qs..winner
2) Had 76 in then small blind, paired the board and hit a runner-runner straight against a guy who flopped a set of Aces....winner
I'm not saying that it is not possible that the online rooms are rigging the deck, I'm just saying that if you have played a decent amount of live poker, you would see some of the same stuff that you see online. In fact, a friend who was with me but played at another table (first time he's played Hold 'Em in a casino) said, "I saw more boards with straight possibilities than I see when I play online."
Remember, this happened at a casino where I saw about 20 hands an hour can you imagine what I see online where I am dealt almost 3x that amount in the same time period.
