I have no intention to imply that Full Tilt or any other poker site is rigged, however I keep encountering this situation, over and over again. First, let me just assure you all I would not make a post like this unless I had some numbers to back my findings up, I understand the concept of variance and the basic maths behind the likeliness of certain starting hands being dealt, etc.
This all started when I took a monsterous beat holding AQ in a two way pot where the board came AQ5 rainbow, and my opponent caught his K on the river, holding AK, to go ahead after we ended up all in following the blank turn.
I started to be hesitant every time I would get AQ, and thats when I started noticing this trend kept popping up, I found that almost every time I was dealt AQ, if cards did end up getting flipped over I always faced an AK accross the table. In fact it was happening so frequently that I decided to keep notes and track the occurance. It was like clockwork, I would raise with my AQ, get reraised, and just out of curiousity (and the fact that I was playing well under my normal limits, I started to push all in, not because it was the right play but because I truly wanted to see if it could keep happening. Sure enough, AK, AK, the occasional 3 way pot but none the less someone with AK. A few times I got lucky and paired my queen or pulled the straight but none the less, out of the 81 times that I have held AQ, since I've kept track, 50 times I have shown down against AK, and I'm geussing that more of those occasions would have had the same result but I got my opponent to fold preflop or after blanking on the flop got my villain holding AK to fold.
To sum things up, be careful out there, this happens to my brother who plays on Tilt also, quite frequently.
Either way I am baffled by it...and I think I've seen enough of it to stop letting my curiousity get the best of me.

WVH never lets me down.
