i'm down just over 0.6ptbb/100 in AIEV over 560k hands, IE $5000. That's a lot, and a pretty large sample.

FML ?

Is that true Para?

Let us say we get it all in with 22 against QQ 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times.

Our average EV is about 0.2*average pots size. Why should we expect to run ahead of our EV here, if we assume online poker is not manipulated?

It seems like most of the posters here run below EV and this is something I find very strange.

Only factor that determines whether we run below or above EV is luck.

But I suspect other factors work against us here.

If you're saying what I think you're saying this is wrong...

In the long run it doesn't I meant if you get it in bad and win, sorry for being unclear

I doubt that's true, the ones running under EV are just by far the loudest. Nobody wants to post a graph running above EV because of the implication that they suck and just run amazing. It's not true, but it's the converse of the "zomg I just run so bad" under EV graph that's so easy to bitch about.

If you want to base your suspicions on some actual data I'd have more respect for your paranoia. There are people out there doing statistical analysis of the games trying to find some bias somewhere which is how the UB superuser scandal was uncovered.

If anything actually was discovered on the major sites it'd be the biggest news in the poker community ever. And believe me, EV graphs are the first place they look cuz it's the easiest and most obvious.

This is true, I never put my EV line in unless it's horrendously to the bad. I never show when it turns around for me. My first three months I lost most of my roll with bad EV and tilt. I am almost even on EV now.

Not sure if this helps, but I know for a fact that PT3 does not calculate EV properly for multi-way pots.

I track my EV for big pots (25BB+) in a separate spreadsheet that i calculate myself.

Not sure about whether HEM calculates it properly b/c i don't use it...

Good points, people do not brag about being lucky.

I must stress that I am no hardcore believer of the rigged nature of online poker, but I am no hardcore disbeliever either.

Besides I do not trust Maltesians(?) and Gibraltians (?).
