First off, I don't want this to become / sound / insinuate the 'rigged theory'. I'm trying to find out what are the actual odds.. and why it feels strange.
The thing is this. I've played real life poker from when I was a kid. Heads up, 2h, 6h, 10h.. and I've never noticed this. I've also played on PS a lot.. but I recently took up 888. I haven't made a statistic based on hh, but it seems that at least 50% times, when I get a pocket pair, at least 1 other player has a pp too. I say at least, because often, there are 2 or even 3 other guys with pairs in hand.
Is there a mathematical thingy that I'm missing or I'm seeing a pattern which isn't there?
I'm asking because I end up folding high pairs (except AA) right from the flop if some moderately tight player 3x-es me or shoves. And most of the times I'm right.. he's got the set.
