Are The Random Number Generators Working?

Here were a couple of frustrating hands from Poker Stars last night:

Seat 2: tontonwhite ($24.85) -
Seat 3: kidd cabbage ($41.10) -
Seat 4: RicoMcPato2 ($17.60) -
Seat 6: larryvq ($91.20)


PRE-FLOP:

kidd cabbage posts small blind $0.25
RicoMcPato2 posts BIG blind $0.50
Dealt To: larryvq


RAISE larryvq ($1.75)
CALL tontonwhite ($1.75)
FOLD kidd cabbage
RAISE RicoMcPato2 ($7)
RAISE larryvq ($18)

I raise here to isolate since I'd rather not go against 2 players all in with KK
FOLD tontonwhite
CALL RicoMcPato2 ($10.60)


FLOP:

Pot: $39.85


Not the flop I'm looking for. Remember Poker Stars software does not turn over the hands right way when someone is all in, it waits until the end. I do not know what my opponent has yet.

TURN:

Pot: $39.85




RIVER:

Pot: $39.85

Seat 4: aky9999 ($51.50) -

PRE-FLOP:

JLC313 posts small blind $0.25
aky9999 posts BIG blind $0.50
Dealt To: larryvq


FOLD iheartbutter
RAISE ThomasSol ($2)

This player had a vpip of 51% and a preflop raise % of 32%. Against a tighter player with his stack size I usually fold. Here playing for stacks seems a +EV play.

FOLD aky9999
RAISE ThomasSol ($23.75)
CALL larryvq ($16.75)
