Ok... First off this is not a "online poker is rigged!" post. I know it's not. Just wanted to see if this seems to happen to anyone else.
I've been playing on ACR exclusively for a while now, but I've noticed this happen on multiple poker clients.
Does anyone else experience the client kind of "freezing" or "stalling" before delivering the river on an all-in hand? I've noticed this happen a countless number of times after going all-in... Usually pre-flop or on the flop. The client will deal the flop, the turn, and then it will stall for 2-3 seconds before delivering the river. I swear it feels like it's calculating whether it wants to screw you over or not.
Just felt like venting a little bit. Was playing 50c/$1 6+ Hold'Em on ACR and got it all in Pre-flop with AA vs villain's AKo. Flop comes Q-10-10, turn comes an 8, and then it stalls for at least 3 seconds... So long that I had time to think to myself "It's about to screw me by putting a Jack out there." Sure enough...ol' One-Eyed Jack of Spades makes an unwanted appearance on the river.
This "stall" on the river with all-in pots seems to happen very often. And it's not just me. I also see it happen when it's other players shipping it and I get out of the way. It doesn't screw me over every time, and it doesn't stall every time either. But I do seem to lose and/or receive a bad beat more often when it "stalls" dealing the river than I do when it deals the cards in a timely fashion (maybe a LITTLE bit of confirmation bias here... but I do believe it's true).
Also, a question... Anybody have some good resources on 6+/Short deck? Strategies, odds and percentages, etc.?
