    Can't believe no-one has mentioned that calling 17,000 hands a substantial sample is laughable. Not a brag but I've played 100,000 hands in 1 month before. 17k is nothing and no where even close to being able to make a single conclusion based on

      Think you have missed the point here. The sample size given is perfect. It is big enough to impress the people with no concept of probabilities and statistics and still small enough to be meaningless.

      The other point of these statistics are the bias involved. A hypothesis was determined and then the statistics were used to proove it was correct. So we have conclusions drawn before the results came. This is the standard way of doing things to proove points. Only conclusions drawn after the results come in can have any possible meaning.

     Always remember the old saying. There are lies, dam lies and statistics.

    +1 to this. (not the part about playing 100k hands though lol)

    I have seen you tube videos where people run hand/statistical analysis on data but its 250,000 hands plus. And the RNG's check out :-D

    From memory there was no presumption from analyzing the data, I think they used examples of AA KK etc and simply used the preflop percentages as a basis for analysis.

    ok i put 6 quid in and managed to turn it in to 125 quid so i think the software likes me but on my way to that 125 quid i sufferd quite alot of unreal beats..

    my advice is keep plugging away varience will turn for you and you will eventually crush the bad callers

    I was playing monopoly once with my brothers and they rolled pocket sixes twice in a row! That's like getting dealt AA 4 times, getting it all in pre and losing it all 4 times. That's just so unlikely that I immediately questioned the integrity of the dice, and refused to play on until the dice was changed.
