While this is a pretty fair assessment, their customer service is some of the best I've seen. Why not e-mail them and find out.

Thank you for emailing us.

The average figure posted on the ring-table lobby, is based on the last 20
hands. I hope you find this information useful. Please let us know if
you should have any further questions or comments.

You are correct sir, pokerstars has fannnntastic customer service!

Thanks, definiteley useful info!

Took them ~10 minutes to reply to my email. I was very impressed.

I bet if you take the last 20 hands of a ring game and average the pot you will find that it is close to the published, but not exact. Keeping 20 numbers in a table, throwing out the oldest, adding in the newest, and averaging is correct, but a computing pain in the butt. The usual way it is done is take 85% of the old pot average and add 15% of the current pot to get a pseudo 20 hand pot average. Uses only 5% of the memory for storage and 1/7 of the FLOPs. Only programmers would give a rat's patootie about the difference in methods since the results shown are so close to the same.
