testing rigged or not

Is online poker rigged or not?

Hard to say because we need aggregated hand histories to do serious research.

But I can do some math against specific situations.


Let's say I have hands H1,H2,....Hn where you are against one opponent and one of you two (or both) moves ALL IN.
Let's name your equities E1(H1),E2(H2).....when an ALL IN situation occurs.

Let's define a function that returns the size of the pot when you WIN and 0 when you loose.

R(i)={ 0, if you loose
POTSIZE(i), if you are the winner
POTSIZE(i)/2,if pot split
}


R(1)+R(2)+R(3)..................
and
E1(H1)*POTSIZE1+E2(H2)*POTSIZE2+...............

SHOULD CONVERGE!!!


I've made a program that runs with PT and computes this
You can download the program from here:

This way you can see if you have been outdrawn more than it should.


Feel free to post the results .

Why is there an SSL file included?

Let me put it differently: Why do you feel the need to encrypt data on my machine?

I'll pass on running this program. If you upload the source, I'd be willing to compile and run it, though.

Let me make a quick addendum, since I'm not being very clear to the rest of you:

SSL is an encryption method. It's most commonly used in encrypting internet traffic - i.e. making it unreadable to anyone but the intended recipient. My question is why a program that analyses data on my harddrive has a module included that has the primary purpose of encrypting data and sending it elsewhere.

Now, if this was a program designed to hack my PC, scan my passwords and send data to someone on the internet, I could see the use for such a module.

Pardon my cynicism. There may of course be a fully proper reason for why SSL is a necessary part of this program.

THe first version was made for Postgresql based PT only.
If you check the dependecies for libpq.dll (Postgresql) driver you will see those SSL related dlls.

However in the latest version I've switched to ODBC to deal with Access databases also.

In conclusion you can remove all the DLLs because the program doesn't need them anymore.

I will make it open source at one moment.
