I don't think Party is rigged. You play a lot more hands within any given time frame (vs. a live game) and as a result see weird things more frequently. But I've never seen anything there I haven't seen elsewhere. AA vs. KK? Happened in my home tournament just a few weeks ago (my KK cracked his AA when I flopped trips). Flopped a flush? I won a home tournament on such a hand two months ago, and this past weekend I busted a guy out in the first orbit when I flopped a flush and he overbet his top pair. Lots of pocket pairs? At a six man game last week we had one hand with three pocket pairs in it, and two guys with queens and eights, respectively, ended up going all in against each other on it.
It's statistically improbable but still quite possible. I have had a full house runner-runnered by a straight flush on Party... then a week later I had it happen at my house. I was beat by a guy with quads... in heads-up play. It's ridiculous, and that's poker.
