I just started playing at Bodog and it was funny how I got quads in the first 30 minutes of play at a NL table. I think people's theories of bad beats are true in the regard that big hands are made often. However, if I'm not mistaken, each hand the random number generator is seeded once and then that sequence of cards is set. So you would be seein the same community cards if u replayed that specific shuffle everytime, like in real life. Thus, rigging the game is impossible because the software doesn't know who's callin pre-flop and wat the action will be post-flop. What I can say is that the shuffle algorithm could very possibly be biased towards putting out big community cards. I could imagine a site doing that to increase postflop action to generate more rake, and this is sort of rigging, but it is not aimed at anyone in particular. No conspiracy theories here. So basically just adjust your play to expect big hands often and raise your overpairs hard early and be cautious with them late in the hand. Overall I like Bodog's software and whether or not I make money here depends on me. Also, if you're sick of hold em loose player schooling and suck outs, play some Omaha Hi/Lo. It's next to impossible to get screwed over playing correct tight-aggressive Hi/Lo.
