We will miss your keen insight to the lumping of random numbers. I surely want to play with you, though, because I want somewhere for the dealer to put all my 2, 3 and 4 cards.

Must be serious, or presumably wouldn't have started two threads about the same thing :)

Why is is I ask a simple question that I notice unusual amount of the same cards in my hand and right off people think your trying to start trouble.
was just asking for help to see if it was just me or bad unuseal run but forget it
Then you obviously haven't been to many forums, if you think that people are causing trouble here. :rolleyes: Seriously, did you even read all the responses? A number of people have helped and answered your question. :shot:

To answer the question: yes, I think you'll find it's just a "bad unusual run". I don't think anything sinister is going on, or that there's anything fundamentally wrong with the shuffling routine on pokerstars.

What people are saying is that 700 hands isn't really that many - all sorts of weird stuff can happen, including getting dealt a disproportionate run of crappy cards. It happens to me all the time playing live, where there's no random number generator to blame.

If you keep track of your cards over 7000 or 70,000 hands, however, you'll likely see the statistics even out.

Seriously, have a look at the AA thread I posted the link to above. It shows over 400,000 hands, compiled from loads of different players, that people are getting dealt AA about the right number of times on PokerStars. One group of hands can't be way out of whack without affecting the other groups.

Paydirt, let me spin your spin in another direction. We have all had streaks with shit for cards, and 700 hands ain't much.

Within a month or two, you will exxperience the opposite end of the spectrum, having hit AK or Q in equally appalling numbers.

Oh by the way, the thing with streaks is that for every bad one, there's a good one, and for every really bad one there's a really good one. Etc ad nauseum.:D

it's the exact opposite with me. i get dealt an ace with a great kicker everyother hand. my sample size is only 3 hands but i figure this is enough for me to go pro with.

I did the math without the 40/52, realized my error, and deleted my post. Obviously I was not quick enough.
