Danger-Mouse Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Is it real money though? Good pot if so It's a real money game, but it's a tournament so unfortunately the chip value doesn't equate to real money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) OK sheltered life What is it ? A royal flush, (AKQJ10 of a suit) the best possible hand in poker. The odds of hitting one are about 650,000 to 1. For anyone that doesn't know the game here is Omaha. You are dealt 4 cards and must use 2 of them along with 3 from the board to make your hand.

wandringstar Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 trouble is, its not random, like real cards are, I once played brag and two of the players had priall's, one had the magical 3s and the other 3 kings, it was a colossal pot and when the 3s were turned over it was almost surreal after the 3 kings had been turned.

Danger-Mouse Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 trouble is, its not random, like real cards are, I once played brag and two of the players had priall's, one had the magical 3s and the other 3 kings, it was a colossal pot and when the 3s were turned over it was almost surreal after the 3 kings had been turned. Are you referring to the random number generators used by poker sites to select cards? They're certainly not 100% random but they are very close to it. Any serious discrepancy would be spotted within a very short time because of the hand tracking software utilised by many online players. I've used such software on occasion and I can tell you that hands win to their expected percentage over the long term. There have been scandals in online poker, one of the most famous was "The Potripper Scandal" where a player gained access to an account that had been used during the development of the site. This account could see all the player's cards and as such when used in conjunction with a regular player account had the complete upper hand in any game. Some very clever online players spotted statistical anomalies in Potripper's hand histories and eventually exposed the scandal. The site involved eventually paid back a couple of million dollars to players who had been "potripped". Play enough hands and you will see the most unexpected results. But that's just a statistical probability, it doesn't mean that the results are rigged in any way. Take this WSOP hand for instance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zyy0Ipfzv4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
