I mean, no, the probabilities are exactly the same. People play worse live, but the run-outs aren't different.

In my casino, people constantly make comments like "if it were online, [xyz unlikely thing] would have happened here". I guess it's a good way to identify people who don't understand selective memory.

In the tournament yesterday there was a hand where someone all-ined with KK overpair on a monocolored board vs. QQ top set from a bigger stack. The flush came in on the Turn and someone said that a full house was still possible, then instead the River was the fourth Q for quads -- and the KK guy already had been on a streak of bad luck for a few weeks. In the hand where I was eliminated, I all-ined with a weak top pair from a short stack, got called, the Turn gave me a second pair, the River counter-fitted the second pair, then it turned out that the counterfitting didn't matter because opponent didn't have top pair anyway, but they were on a naked Flush Draw instead and the River had also completed the Flush.

In other words, two unlikely runouts in just a few hands I remember. Yet somehow no one complained about it when it was live :rolleyes: Guess people have too many social scruples when the dealer is a person, whereas there's no social punishment for complaining about online hands where no present person is indicated and no one can verify anything.
