This example above is actually a simple way to get started thinking differently.
Just keeping track of the outcomes when one eight is in your hand.
You could note the other cards as well during a winning hand.
At the time of this hand, a single eight wasn’t winning much if at all.
Compare that to the KQ holding and flopping KQ it was 2 for 2 rivering the best hand.
The more of these patterns you are aware of that currently have a high percentage of winning,
the better chances you have to do well in a tournament.
So, to answer at least one of your questions," are the patterns obvious and predictable "
Yes!
They can be very much so!
In Omaha Hi Lo for the longest time on Replay, getting dealt the ace of hearts and another heart is
golden. So much so that many players at the table have commented on it.
It has the highest win percentage I’ve ever seen. You could sit through the entire tournament
and just wait until that combo comes up and you’d do well. The flop has two hearts and rarely
will not give you the third. This is the greatest evidence that the site isn’t generating random shuffles
IMO.
Entering the tournament first came about after watching Goatsoup win so much.
He was notorious for entering first.
I took note and did the same for the most part during the first quarter of the Nordic Warriors league.
Managed to win 5 that quarter.
It’s a phenomenon.
Having more paired flops than expected isn’t on my radar at all so I really have no comment on that.
Bottom line is possibly, like the roulette wheel, we’re witnessing one heck of run of reds.
All 20 lights are lit up red right now concerning the ace of hearts and another heart pattern.
Wouldn’t want to be too quick to say Replay’s shuffle isn’t random.
