As I said before I dont think its rigged but i dont think its random.

As you may have guessed After a bit of a sabatical from PKR and indeed online poker due to the amount of sheer rubbish that goes on, I have returned.

I had a beat today that actually made me laugh, coz the guy who did it to me clearly has never played before coz he just never had a clue what was going on (He took out 3 players in the 2nd hand, and went on to come 2nd not long after in a 6 handed SNG).

The reason i fell out with online poker and still dont trust it is coz I dont believe you can achieve randomness on a computer. Actually its not that I dont believe it... its that I know you cant. If your computer comes across a random value it will crash because it doesnt know when to finish with it and will continue looping with it forever.

The way computers create randomness is by a set of what are called random digits... the same why anyone who has studied statics or is an analyst will do by hand.

Another point in this post i liked was about the domesday switch. I dont believe its true and never have done, but in a contructed arguement against your point, I believe losing makes you return... because at the end of the day we're gamblers. We're playing a game based on odds and putting money on these odds. Gamblers return for more. Thats why casinos make **** loads of cash.

I believe now ive returned I needed that rest and Ive become a bit more mellow in my play. My style hasnt changed (I said i cant see what im doing wrong in my plays i just keep getting unlucky). I seem to be winning more this time around... Only time will tell untill "they throw the domesday switch upon me"
