Found a Gem of a Quote
Regarded "rigged sites," found this in cardplayer archives, a Lee Jones article:
"Second, people seem to get a distorted idea of how frequently the best hand is supposed to win. For instance, consider the classic "dominated hand" scenario — A-K vs. A-Q. Whenever the A-Q wins, people go nuts; it wasn't fair, the site is rigged, and so on. Try the following experiment: Get a pair of dice. If necessary, borrow them from the house Monopoly game. Start rolling. Every time you see 2, 3, 4, 11, or 12, A-Q beats A-K. That's right, sports fans, A-K is about a 3-1 favorite over A-Q all in preflop (if they have no matching suits). So, A-Q gets there 25 percent of the time. With your dice, you've got 36 (6 x 6) possible combinations. One combination makes 2, two combinations make 3, three make 4, two make 11, and one makes 12 — a total of nine of the 36 possible combinations. If it will make you feel better, every time you roll 2, 3, 4, 11, or 12, yell, "These dice are rigged!""
