I certainly am not a player that constantly accuses sites of being "rigged" or running bots but am noticing a lot of crazy boards at Carbon Poker.

I understand that online you see everything just based on the fact that you see so many hands. I have been playing online for years at just wanted to check out Carbon so I made a deposit and have been playing .50/1.00.

I have never been dealt A's so much in my life. On avg I should see them 1 in 800 hands but in my last session, I got them @ 1 in 50. I am also being dealt pocket pairs more than I have ever seen. In one session I was in on 3 set over set and a fh over fh within a 20 hand series. Also, it seems like I am 1 card away from broadway straights every 5 hands.

I know this may just be a coincidence I am just wondering what people think about sites dealing boards to just encourage action to boost rake?

Thanks!

I don't think that sites deal boards to boost rake. Carbon poker at that level with 5+ player takes a rake of 0.01 per 0.18 in the with a max rake of $4. They make money on rake by hands per hour. If they dealt action boards on purpose the rake per hand would go up but hands per hour would go down.
