It’s fascinating to read people getting emotional over math. Poker is a strange game, and psychology is an integral part of the game.
Here is a legit question though: Do we assign an extraordinary meaning to every low probability event?
So that whenever a low probability event happens, that must mean something? That the site is rigged, or that God hates us, etc.?
Low probability events happen on the regular, it’s part of statistical distribution of events.
Btw, if you are interested I’ll share with you a hand that happened to me, which I have witnesses of happening, since they were behind me watching the play, that you’ll never hear from anyone else that that hand happened to them as well. The hand is so rare, that it would take 1000’s of players to play over 40 years and see a heavy volume of hands and still not experience this hand happening again.
And yet, when it happened, I didn’t assign a meaning to it, for example “The site is rigged.” … Again cause low probability events happen. And they happen about as often as they should be happening. Your claim that the site is rigged, could be proven by some stat tracking, for example. But if you do that though (and I have done this in the past), what you find out is that the rare hands happen as often as they should be happening.
So another question to put that point into focus is: How many times have you seen that hand happened before, or since? … Probably not many times.
