Joe,

Your quote had the most "complain(ing)s in it, so I used yours… hahahahaha
Yes I was also responding to you… but No, the ā€œyouā€ in my statement didn’t mean you per-say.

I’m just reading and liking and not saying sh*t lol

W/O the personal there wouldn’t be any fun and entertainment…

Reminds me of the part in the movie Gladiator when Russel Crowe is standing in the middle of the arena and yells to the crowd " well , are you not entertained ? "

@staff,

you just moved like 20 days worth of ā€œproudest replay handā€ cause someone got off topic. Was that necessary ? If so, might as well roll 40% of the forum into ā€œThe Fairness Debateā€ā€¦

RALPHIE FOR PRESIDENT

Viva Presidente Ralphie…:hear_no_evil::see_no_evil::speak_no_evil:

What is his position on N Korea?

Completly agree, if you don’t purchase chips’
then you don,t stand a cat in hells chance.

why buy chips with no chance of a return ?

It’s a game of chance called poker.

Those flops are not nearly as common as you propose. Chance of flopping a
set with pocket pair 11.8% and 1.35% without. Flopping a flush draw with
suited pocket cards 11% and 1.12% without.

I agree with Ballack. In real poker played with humans, you don’t get as many pairs on the flop, potential flushes or straights. Also I have noticed, and tried many times, if I fold, many times my cards show on the flop. really unrealistic. Also I have noticed, an agressive player that has many chips will win the pot 80% of the time on an all in situation. The cards should be dealt realistically, even if it is a free site

How come this isn’t rare if it’s random? This kinda thing happens every 3 or 4 hands. It’s brutal. Terrible calls being rewarded. Hot seats the only explanation. Don’t anyone come on here and try and suggest the river saves just as often as in real hands of poker. Not a chance it’s this regular. I’ve played enough to know. Two good hands going all in and getting beaten sure it happens. But there are morons on here must think they’re genuises because of how succcessful they are throwing on their chips in the hope of hitting one card and getting it or ya know, much more likely, maybe they’ve twigged that on here they will hit it. It’s Replay’s USP. Have a mad bet 5/6 times. You’ll get lucky 3/4 times. that is a generous rate. I’m the idiot that keeps coming back to the bent ā– ā– ā– ā– . https://www.replaypoker.com/hand/replay/328474201/straight-ten-to-ace

Greetings Mr. Fox,
I’d like to try and help if you’ll allow me to offer you my view, and that’s all it is, my opinion or food for thought.
Hands
Your’s… …3 of Diamonds… King of Clubs
His… Jack of Spades… King of Spades

Before the flop there’s a $219 Pot. -
Flop comes:
3 of clubs … Q of Hearts … K of Hearts

First to act bets the pot $220 to you
You re-raise to $920 and he calls
Here’s where I see you’re heading into some of poker’s more common, as well as extremely dangerous and murky waters. That’s how the vast majority of poker players play your hand… Myself on the other hand, play and view this hand entirely different.
First, I would give those 2 suited runners tremendous respect. You have top pair bottom pair. Certainly a good hand in most circumstances… Except this scenario for sure…
If I have your hand right now Mr. Fox, I want to end this hand, a potential night mare for you. Right here and now. Neither of you have enough chips to influence each other so I would go all in and make him pay with all of his chips if he is drawing at me. Most likely he’ll throw everything away except 2 hearts, a premium pair, or Ace with some kind of a kicker. So this is the deciding point with me. I’d go all-in and take the chips that are out there and wait for the next hand…You should see one heck of a turn around in your bankroll if you’ll add these thoughts to your game I believe… :sunglasses:

RP staff will defend their ā€œdealersā€ to the death. But hands per hour doesn’t explain consecutive strings of paired boards and draws. And yes, bad beats happen, especially in low stakes, but the frequency on this site is unreal. Best possible odds of completing a flush draw 6-handed are 9:36 (25%).

Greetings Bobby & Replay Family,
I’m sure I can help if you or the others would like to read on…
First Bobby, please follow up with a little more information about the dealer thing being defended. I didn’t follow it clearly I think.

Our good friend CairnDestop supplied us with the perfect outline to use to actually check your play and tables out… It’s as good as any I’ve ever seen…

I’m always saying this site doesn’t provide the necessary statistics for a proper analysis of one’s play or the effectiveness of the RNG. However, I never show what can be done if given the proper tools. The statistics that follow are actual and mine. I used nothing more fancy than pencil, paper, and a very basic Excel spreadsheet. I must also add that this covered my last 15 months of play on another site.

This one will take a little reading. BUT… It’s the same exact principle of theory all casinos understand as the keys to the kingdom… ā€œThe law of large numbersā€
Not only does it simplify the understanding of how casinos rake it in everyday while people left and right are winning…What a business, Believe me…
The other not so obvious unintended consequences of this theory is, it points out the exact personality traits of ā€œThe Oddsā€. Implied or otherwise…
Lets take the new, more fancy word that’s tied and weaved into and throughout the fabric of this ā€œlaw of large numbersā€. ā€œImplied Oddsā€ as it’s called. What does that mean to you personally ? I know what all the books say, most all of us do. What is your deeper understanding you have personally ? Is it turning out the way you thought it should ? Seems like a lot of folks get steamed pretty easy all the time when things seem to happen out of their expectations of the odds and the game…Yet there’s a much smaller group lucky enough to understand some of the these principles well enough to make them successful and flourish in poker and in gambling in general…
I’ve put in a friend request to you… If you find this interesting enough, let me know, then we can continue uninterrupted…:sunglasses:.
