Hi. Recently I came across some interesting hands. Within 10 hands I was dealt the following cards, including AA twice in a row.
AK, AQ, A.A, A.A, A.A

and within 3 hands 3x AK in a row. :)
AK, AK, AK

Of course, I am far from any conspiracy theories, but it is a bit puzzling.
In my case, it happens when, in the decisive late phase of a tournament or in the final, I get a bad beat several times and I am eliminated at a very important moment.
Then, in subsequent low buy-in or free tournaments, he gets better cards more often at insignificant moments, as if to compensate. However, this is already in insignificant moments and at the beginning of the tournament.
After adding procent chances in all tournaments, the chances of receiving premium cards are of course the same. However, more often premium cards appear in unimportant moments and bad beats appear in decisive moments.
Do you ever have such open lucky boxes? What do you think about this?

Basically if there's a chance it can happen, someone is going to observe it sometime, depending on how unlikely it really is. If you don't know the math for the probability and have nothing to compare your observation to, in order to see if it is abnormal or not, this is no different than seeing an object in the sky and wondering if it is aliens.

So you're getting big hands in unimportant games, and bad beat several times in good games.
Are you playing vs. 'the house'? I typically play poker vs. other players (I've never played any casino poker type game where you play against the house).

Why would the poker site do this? And if they were doing this, who are they doing the opposite of this to? Do you really think they might've flagged your account to have it run like the way you've described?

Hmm. I've never considered this to be a possibility. Perhaps I'm not looking at the big picture and am being far too trusting.
