Ever hear the story about the Absolute Poker doomsday switch? There's been alot written about it. Basically some guy wrote a story about how he was losing and someone from AP contacted him during live play and flipped a switch and the guy proceeded to win 10 monster hands in a row.

It's total BS, I know this for a fact. But this thread just reminded me of it.

As far as RNG's go, most poker rooms use very similar ones, are they as random as real life, I don't think so, but as far as bad beats go, you will get more during online play for one simple reason, you'll play 3-4 hands online in the time it will take to play a hand live.

I would attribute the same guy getting pocket aces to a glitch rather than a RNG problem or someone hacking the system. Poker rooms are super secure these days. About a year ago I had some guy email me about a RNG learner he was selling for $300. He wanted me to sell it on my sites. It claimed to learn the RNG the poker room was using and it would then tell me what cards everyone had.

I told the guy I wanted to test it before posting about it. (I never planned to sell it) Anyway, I tested it over a long weekend, it was complete horseshit.

Rosso, next time that happens walk away for a week or so. It always works for me.
