u know the camp you are in?
gets boring after a while
people complain somewhere is rigged. then they keep playing there.
if you really think its rigged why would you? that is plain stupidity
The only way to assess this would be to religously record the outcome of say 10,000 hands and you will probably find that bad beats will probably equal miracle cards.
In all random selections there will appear natural bias for short periods of time where the odds of probability go off of the scale in in order to adjust back to the true odds. for example the odds say that your chances of a pocket pair are16:1, but how many times do we sit there hand after hand with nothing and then hit pocket pairs twice on the trot (true odds 16:1, probability odds 16x16:1).
I am not saying that your caller was aware of this but there is always the off chance that he picked up on a bias and was trying for an informed steal.
Highly unlikely i know, but think, how many times have we all had a gut feeling and not acted on it and would have ended up with a mega disguised hand only to think what if.
IT IS RIGGED.
5-6 years ago I went for my train drivers job. The tests I had to do were pretty rigorous before I got the job. One of the tests was a reaction test where basically you sit in front of a screen, you have different coloured buttons in front of you, a left and right pedal and some earphones on. noises in ur ears meant you had to press a certain pedal and colours flashed on the screen and you had to press the appropriate button.
The test is designed to `run away with you`, ie, you cannot keep up. It is what you do when you cant keep up that could be the difference between getting the job and not. We were told b4 the test, if you cant keep up, then stop. Sit back for a few seconds and start again when you have composed yourself. Do not chase the colours, as this will lead to getting more wrong. I was sitting next to someone who was pressing these buttons like a madman. I sat back and composed myself when things got out of control, but was thinking, omg the guy next to me is superman, there is no way I will get this job.
Turns out he failed the test and did not get offered a job as he did not take a break and chased the colours. I composed myself and got back into the stride without chasing.
I know this may be an obscure analogy, however, I do think it lends itself to poker in this situation.
I just need to adhere to it myself from time to time lol

its true tho
