    How does it happen? Apparently you don't understand the math of poker. If you have players call with bad hands, they will win a small percentage of the time (they are supposed to win infrequently).

    It's what we call variance. It's what makes poker a profitable game.

    You didn't know it was rigged? Of course it is, the whole universe is out to get you. It is actually not rigged against me, but against you. Because that is somehow a profitable business proposition. And the answer to your question is 42. As is the answer to any question.
