Is there a glitch in your beta code for this game? Way, way, too many of the same hands( namely, 4 to an outside SF w/one deuce). I've never encountered a series of hands this bad, not even when they had the initial bugs with the VPFW software was it this bad.

There are no strategies or hand types built in to these flash games at all...   It's very simple, really. Random cards drawn according to the rules of play.  In other words, you would have as good a chance of observing the same pattern at some point by physically dealing yourself hands with a deck of cards. Chalk it up to a streak of luck, good or bad.
 


You only need to look at the spread of player scores out there to see that it's not a trend that everyone has experienced.

After 850,000 credits played, i'm comfortable with my initial assessment about randomness issues within this beta test.

I can attest to the randomness and lack of strategic hands. I have fluctuated between position 6 and 132. I actually do quite well at the casinos playing $1 and $2 DDBP single hand machines. Playing 50 hand DDBP here and encountering a brief run of bad luck can send you tumbling down the rankings (wanna see the bruises?). I have played 1,420,500 credits...and don't see any patterns...appears to be randomly generated hands.
