very interesting , would be nice to see a response from ryan on this one.

It's pretty clear to me that flops, turns and rivers are based on folded hands a large percentage of the time. I certainly agree that the cards are not random, this seems to be gpokr style poker, I'm not sure Ryan intended or is obligated to simulate real poker. Always remember, online poker anywhere is not cards, it's infinitely configurable software.

It's meant to simulate a real dealer. A deck is randomly shuffled several times. Cards are the selected from the top. There's nothing more complex happening. I could paste some of the code if that helps.

No big deal for me.. maybe it is the true random nature of shuffles that your cards often come down after a fold.. lol
It's free entertainment for me, no complaints really 'cept maybe the lag issues.

I have been able to accumulate lots of chips from time to time... before my lack of patience ends up biting me in the butt! Patience is a key factor in winning whether it be real or online.

Well Ryan you need to fire your simulated dealer and hire a new one. My cards are so repetitive it isnt funny. LOL Not that I am no expert at playing poker and this is the only place i have ever played and tried a couple of other sites temporarily which the same thing happens, I have watched the live games on tv and I see the same turns and rivers happening.

I don't understand the big deal, it is free entertainment that's it. If you want to play serious poker take 10k of your real money and go to a local casino. There are a lot of good people here that enjoy the game and the friendship.

+1 to Mario.

Also, if the site isn't random and you've got any inkling of what it's doing to stack the deck, that is a huge advantage that you can use to beat the game.

First of all, how many people have OBSERVED, Live Poker Players play 2-5000 hands a month? Based on the amount of hands played here (Free Chips), We are bound to see Much More than what appears in Live Play, Why? Money involved..We play more hands than you will ever see Live Play..Those percentages that some speak of, throw that crap out the window.. Random, are not, makes no difference..Those are excuses for losing. ALL of US have endured the Agony, and PAIN, of losing to good and or bad hands, and at times consistently.. There are no guarantees Live Play, Here, or any other site.. Quit making excuses, and lets move on to bigger and better things...There is one percentage that I can assure you...95% percent of Live Poker Players In Las Vegas, Die financially in Las Vegas..Hopefully some of you that like playing crap cards,is smart enough to stay away from Live, Big Money Games.

i vote for tc to be prez speaks better then ohbama
