Default still on the fence on RNG's

hi

I'm still very much on the fence with the whole RNG rigged theories - I appreciate that alot of players who are experienced "see" issues as well as the less experienced who shout out "rigged" when those cases are really really easy to diagnose as bad play rather than a bad RNG

anyway I personally think that I've seen or felt probably a fair share of very long short bad beats which many would put down to an iffy RNG - but I've also seen as many long shot bad beats in live home games - so I'm not saying anyone is wrong to feel these long shot bad beats but equally they seem to happen at all poker sites

I've had nut flushes fall to runner runner full houses or AA against AA lose to them making a flush or me bad beat someone else catching a 5 of spades to make them a FH and me a straight flush

all these have happened at different sites - so while this is a free and open forum so I dont moderate negative feedback on rooms (so long as its in the realms of sanity) I personally think the poker sites have a big incentive to keep the games straight

As I've said before alot of geeks do watch all the sites and collect alot of data - this was how they did find CHEATING (not a bad RNG) at Absolute and more recently at UB.

I also commented in my blog that this is a good thing for players - finding these rougue staff members who were cheating - but thats pretty isolated out of millions of players

Absolute Poker Scandal Posts at 4kingpokerblog.com

also this is an interesting post at another site

Absolute Poker Scandal could be good for online poker

also suggesting like me that if anything this gives sites even more reason to make sure their RNG's run true

anyway I put that out there for discussion

cheers scrawnybob
