Hello there, Hatchetface2, I’ve read all your comments and normally don’t reply to this things, but I felt obliged to here.
Our website is built entirely on one premise: fairness.
Without it, this incredible community would never exist. We are a free poker site, that differentiates itself from all others because of it’s community. If we mistreat players, they can simply go play on any other free poker website. It’s on our best interest to treat everyone with absolute fairness. The second a player loses trust on us, he’s going to leave.
We’re not making millions off of rake and tournaments like real money sites do. It’s not even feasible to imagine we’d skew the game to please the small percentage of players that buys chips. We’d simply go bankrupt since we’d have no players.
Now, I don’t expect you to believe me, since you clearly already have your mind made up. But I’m a programmer on this site and know for a fact that there absolutely no “subroutines” or anything like that on our code. Again, we are not a real money site, so there is absolutely no incentive for us to do anything even close to that.
You sound like you know a bit about statistics, so you should know that you can’t claim things like “62% of the hands are determined by turns”. First of all it makes no sense, since the algorithm generating the cards have nothing to do with the plays and players. You might have a good hand and not know about it, and fold. And players might have a bad hand and still go all-in, causing a lucky turn or river to give them a victory (or lose it all!). Secondly, in order to make claims like that, you’d need to have information about all the hands played, for at least a decent time-frame.
That’s the thing about randomness, it’s… random. You might get 5 pocket pairs in a row or no pairs at all. You might get 100 consecutive hands with the same cards. And it’s not broken, it’s just random. Say you have 1% chance of having pocket aces, if we get 10000 hands, that’s still 100 pocket aces, and there is no guarantee that they will come with any set interval. They can come spread out, bunched together, all in sequence. Who knows? It’s random. But if you only take those 100 hands, you can say “OMG 100% of my hands are the same card!”. Does that mean the algorithm is broken? Absolutely not.
I’m sorry for the long post, but I just wanted to give some more technical feedback for this thread, since all the misinformation might break the trust of some of the good players that make our amazing community.
Feel free to ask me any technical questions.
