I've been playing online for a bit under a year now, and I've had my share of card runs, good and bad. I've noticed that when I am having a bad run (and I've had at least two very long ones - over three weeks each) the cards are bad no matter what table or site I play on - hopeless hole cards hand after hand or, worse, great hole cards and hideous flops or nightmare rivers. I am sure you all know what I'm talking about...
A similar thing happens with good runs, but in reverse: no matter what site I play, I get good hole cards, friendly flops and rivers. (The only thing is, the good runs never seem to be as long as the bad ones !)
Assuming that the randomisers behind the software all produce near-as-dammit random deals, my experience leads me to conclude that the good and bad runs have more to do with me than with the software, otherwise I could do better by switching sites (or even tables). But, as I said switching never seems to change things at all (obviously, I'm not much tempted to switch during a good run!).
Does anyone else have this experience of card runs, or do you find you can improve by switching tables or sites?
