This is why you are the moderator. [/QUOTE]
This is why pointing out patterns is fairly useless without a modest understanding of how random events work. Every hand you play is unusual in some way because there are so many possibilities. And yet you can also find plenty of correlations within those random events to conceive of a pattern.

So, when I lost EVERY contest that I played in on this site since I joined it, these are just random events, and I should not conceive a pattern ?

If you are talking about in a casino, for slots, they do have a Tournament Mode, where the top paying combinations come up more often.
I do not know if they have that for VP in the casinos.

I hope that is a good omen for me, since I am heading for Vegas on Friday.
I guess I would have rather seen someone like Shania Twain, though.
