PokerStars ... random card generator a little weird

[Nakamura]

I multi-table quite often on PokerStars and I often find when hands are dealt at approximately the same time they frequently happen to have cards of the same value (but not neccessarily the same suit) e.g. 2d7h and 2s7h. I am sure this happens often than it should, although it's quite hard to test the theory.

I wonder if anyone else has noticed this at all?

srsly?

I have to say, I have noticed this.

Yeah I agree the numbers do not seem so random sometimes. Yesterday on two $10+1 don tourneys I was dealt 55 at the same time on two tables then AA immediately next at the same time on the same two.

I've noticed a lot of the flops looking similar myself, not so much the starting hands.
For instance the flops might be:
Qc8c2d and at another table when the flop comes almost simultaneously it'll be Qc8d3c
Sure it can happen randomly, but I only play about 100-150 hands in a session at ring games and it seems to happen every second or third time I sit down to play.

I notice that often cards at one table will totally have hit a flop from a different table.

I also notice that I suffer from confirmation bias.

there are no accidents. someone at pokerstars is trying to get your attention. he is probably being held against his will and wants your help. WHY ARENT YOU HELPING HIM?
