Randomizer Concept
I love my VP and I'm all about finding the edge. I'm talking about deept analysis here.
Recently I was warming up at home playing STP DDB here on VP.com before leaving for AC and was getting some really great hands. Not really the norm. When I got to AC I played the same games and found I was hitting the same non-standard wins that I was getting at home. Purly coincidence or were the RNG's running rich that particular night? I've also had a few sessions where my home play was nothing great and that was mimmicked at the casino.
I'm a believer that when RNG's get into a mode they run good. How long, how often who knows. This is deep stuff like RNG seeding and clocks etc.
I've learned over the years that many games run on MS windows imbeded OS and that they are essentially PC's at their heart. Not sure if that applies to my favorite VP games, but if I can make a deterministic decision on when to play based on some deeper understanding of the science of the game (even if it's the PC games pays, the casino game might pay), then I consider that a players advantage.
This goes way back to my "basic" programming days where if you seeded theh RNG with the same value then you got the same RNG result. That's why we were taught to seed the RNG with the value from the computers clock divided into seconds. Always producing a unique seed value.
My theory is based on a very immature concept, but possibly one that could be developed into something more predicitable and deterministic.
Thoughts...

Like all patterns associated with RNGs they appear and then they disappear.
I had a stretch in time where I experienced the same phenomena ... I would play on a trainer before heading out to the casinos. But, once you do this many times, the correlation disappears.
