Counting cards

The beauty of playing a multi table game on Full Tilt is that I get to see how ridiculously crappy my cards are compared to everyone else. I just finished an 18 player game and by some miracle fourth place with a couple of chips pointed my way. In the first 55 hands - 2 aces. Yep, got my pad of paper and pen next to me....I've been logging the cards. Because it's been pretty....frigging bogus.

The two aces in 55 hands is just an example of what it's been like lately. It's not just the cards, the size of the chip stack is a huge factor. Someone please explain to me how I can play 30 consecutive tourneys and only get one ace in the first 7 hands in like two or three of them? You can't, because it's rigged.

My favorite is from last night. My hole cards in the first 13 hands were all off suit and they were - 38, 78, 26 85, 25. 56, 79, 93, 54, Q4(A queen, how the hell did that get in there!),25,54,96. Average card - less than a six? Come on, you have to be kidding. There's no freaking way you can play that many hands without something resembling cards to call on much less raise on.

It did get a bit better from there. Needless to say, when you are constantly short stacked it's difficult to make progress.

Again, if the play tables aren't for real, why on Earth would I expect the real money tables are for real?
