alright this has no evidencial (is that even a word) value but something ive noticed the last 9 months online...
ive noticed this at almost every place online (especially pstars), when in tourney's or sng's i have noticed that when i or someone else has the chip lead, the cards just seem to never end..sure a few J2os's are tossed but for the most part i really cant stay out of a hand if i even wanted to...just non-stop rock solid hands....
i bet you see where this is going..
anyway when im the ss or anyone else for that matter...cant get cards to save our lives...the OCCASIONAL AQo or hell at some points 34s looks good...not saying that 34s is at all a good play for a ss especially but thats how bad it gets
for instance i was just the ss at a table...after i became ss i recieved the following hands (almost none of which i would see as chip lead, at least to this volume)
27o-4x
27s-1x
2Qo-2x
3Ao-3x
J4o-1
25o-12x(!!)
6To-lost track
35s-2x
i could go on and on...but anyway you get the idea....
chip leaders-get more cards and not just because they can afford more risky plays...they are generally solid hands...
short stacks-generally get the worst crap (again not saying all hope is lost, but %85 of the cards will be pure garbage)
onto theory...could poker rooms..oh..i dunno change the % rates on cards recieved based on stack sizes? even if they did...why would they? especially in sng's where this is no rake.
i could see (but not agree) doing it in ring games based on the fact that top tier hands induce major betting and that top stacks are more likely to bet more on them than ss
but even if so, rakes are capped so i still cant see any good enough reason for them to F with the randomization
anyway just something ive noticed over time, and only mentioning it because its just way too frequent
(again this whole thing doesnt mean chip leads get solid cards, and ss's get garbage %100 of the time, but i really do believe it is at least a majority of the time)
and yes..i have a tendancy to over-describe crap
thoughts?
