What's he biggest %$#@ U the Poker Gods ever rained down on you?

I Think I have played you on PP - You do very well in my limited experience of playing you

I’ve never played on PP with this screen name

Last time I played for real money was on Stars a few months ago. Bought into a turbo and lost early holding AA against AQ all in pre for about 50bb. I dip in every now and then just for a reminder that it’s impossible to win.

Ah, someone else then with the same or similar name. Tell me about it- flopped a straight last night on PP went all in on the turn- villain rivered a full house - boom -$20

Last night I twice went all in with top two pair vs a pocket pair and had the villain fill set on the very next card.

Sometimes RP does suck, 5 odd months ago I ended up with 4 A’s and lost to a random flush, cost me 2 1/2 mill chips. Why is it, when it comes down to 2 players, you have K9, they have K4, the pot gets split, several hands later, you may have A8, they have A9, the payout goes to A9, why not the same split, this happens all the time. Ive also watched other players with the winning hand lose to a lessor hand, makes on wonder the the f is going on.

There’s a quick way to check what the “real” winning hand of that just finished game was: Click “Show all chat” and the automated dealer’s chat shows exactly what the winning cards for that last hand were.

Another confusion is ranking “low” hands in the high-low games. The lows are ranked from highest card to lowest, not lowest to highest. So A-2-3-5-6 is LOWER than A-2-3-4-7; think of the first as a 6-high and the second as a 7-high. That’s why the 6-5 beats the 7-4.

Another point of confusion is “all in” pots of different amounts. If I’m all in for 12 and you’re all in for 26, you can win chips I’m NOT eligible to play for, and you may win that part of the pot with a lower hand than I have–and that’s perfectly fair because those extra chips wouldn’t have been in the pot without the higher action that I couldn’t afford to call.

In about two weeks, I’ll have been here 6 years. Never–not even once–have I seen a “wrong winner” announced or paid. That’s over the course of nearly 500,000 hands, I’d bet almost anything the next half-million hands don’t see an error of that type, either.
