why do some poker nights feel completely rigged
Been playing cards for years, mostly at home games and some local spots. Lately, I've noticed a weird pattern, same few folks just keep pulling monster hands, session after session. Not talking about solid players grinding out value, I mean absolutely insane luck, like four sets in a row or crazy river suckouts way too often. A couple regulars even seem to know what’s coming before it hits.
I get that variance can be wild, but something feels off when it’s always the same guys making bank and nobody else is catching a break. Not saying cheating for sure, but the vibe is starting to mess with my head. Anyone else run into this at their usual poker night? Genuinely wondering if I should walk or stick around.
