I get what you’re saying, but if you have a bad pRNG then starting with the last hand’s deck each time is creating a correlation between hands that would not otherwise exist. I’m not sure that this is particularly better than starting with a fresh deck each time.
If the pRNG is a good, modern one then it is so indistinguishable from random that it doesn’t matter what cards you start with each time.
What concrete evidence is there that anything distinguishable from random is happening here on this site? I’m talking something that happens unusually often statistically speaking over the course of thousands of hands. So far I have only seen speculation and anecdotes from handfuls of hands.
thank you ! many wise comments on this thread…
its like Vegas… if you have the odds (& rake) why cheat and risk it all and jail time? makes no sense… just collect the cash
yes is examples in past of iffy poker sites where some programmer insiders had ability to see cards… but not now… there is too much these billion dollar outfits would risk…
i am on many poker forums in our community… all the comments i see of hey ACR … or PokerStars, etc is rigged… truly come from bad beats … nothing factual
These old posts have a lot of value and entertainment value but it’s entirely possible that the person to whom you’re replying doesn’t even play any more.
You might want to read the “fairness debate” thread that, despite many efforts to kill it, is still active.
My point is that replying to someone who has hasn’t been part of this topic for more than three years is a bit silly.
I replied to a new post.
The fairness debate? I would love that topic to just disappear. I am an active participant in trying to kill it because, I believe, it is well established that Replay is a truly, really, really, cross my fingers and hope I die, fair game.
If this thread really must be revived then it should be merged into the currently active discussion.
Good to know I think. The fairness debate will never disappear as staff mergers posts that should go there practically everyday. Opinions matter whether we agree or disagree.
Good luck with whatever you’re trying to do in the forums.
