FU FTP

I just got creamed by the FTP RNG.

First up: I got check/raised all-in on the flop:



Next up:
flop: Bet pot / call. Turn: bet pot / call. River: 1/2 pot, ALL IN....reluctant call:

I can almost understand the turn call: at least then he had a gutshot, but the flop?


LAST: preflop, UTG raises I RR, UTG calls. UTG check/raises all in on the flop.


I swear 1/2 the yahoos out there think a preflop raise must only mean AK, so no A and no K on the flop = golden.

I have run AMAZINGLY HORRIBLE online over the last month. My roll has been severely depleted. SEVERELY. Like the lowest it's been since my first deposit.

And don't read this post wrong: I love love LOVE all these plays by my opponents. Just the magnitude of the suckouts was kinda gross.

Oh, this was over 3 tables, over about an hour. And only the highlights. :)

RNG my ass

Just under 400 hands tonight, over 3-4 tables:









....and, for the grand finale: SUITED:




Coincidence? Synchronicity?? Simply randomness???

5 times; 400 hands, 3-4 tables (probably 300 3-tabling and 100 4-tabling).

Going to hit-up the math-wizards at work tomorrow to see if I can get some percentages of this happening.

Coolers

Remember the 22 boat over boat hand from my last post? Check this out:


What? Not enough coolers yet? OK then:


That's right - 3 times in 2 nights; 3 times in approx 700 hands, FLOPPED sets over sets. What are the odds? No, seriously, what are the odds? Does anyone know how to figure that out?

And just for kicks, here's some RNG-fun:

This is my 2nd hand at each of these tables, too...







fwiw I won the hand on the left...







This one I folded the one on the left as the one on the right was being dealt.







In a previous post I mentioned that there are 169 combinations of hands (ignoring suits). The odds of getting the same hand twice, then, is 1 in 169 while playing at one table; I don't know how to figure out what the odds are of seeing the exact same hand dealt at the exact same time over multiple tables.

Now, I'm FAR from saying FTP is "rigged" or fixed or anything - if I thought that I'd take my money and run. These instances in no way effect the play or the outcome, so it's not strategically important.

What I am suggesting, though, is that there is something funky with their RNG - either they're taking seed info based on something not randomized enough, or... something... I've seen it in the past, I've read in other blogs about it, and just the fact that I'm able to regularly capture multiple instances in the course of an hour or 2 of playing is quite compelling evidence.
