havent complained about one of these in a while and this just seems like a perfect opportunity

if both are 23% there shouldnt be any 1st or 2nd place unless theyre going to start calcuating decimals and telling us what they are

not to mention any other day the open ended straight draw wins if i pick 49

these are just dumb

it was during a shootout on beta, but isnt 50 the smallest increment we are dealing with regardless??

i mean after looking at it now i guess splitting a pot that ends in 50 between four players would result in something 12.50 and then if the system rounds .50 up to 1 it could technically be a 13 and unfortunately i left the table so i cant check all the hands, but im pretty sure there was no 4x split in that game.

any ideas??

see this is exactly what im talking about..

so on the first one (round 3) i go for top pair because every time i chase the flush it says im wrong and people say thats because two other hands have a card from that suit so it lowers the flush odds

well here i am following that advice and i still get smoked with my 6s being second to last and somehow even losing to a pair of 4s

and then the second one (round 4) illustrates my point even further; now theres only one diamond in the other hands, so this time i go for the flush and im still wrong

#🖕🏻🤬🖕🏻

must be tpsd from that time i picked top pair and got owned by the flush draw i didnt even realize was an option

other than the title, i dont really have a whole lot to say about this one.

i just know if i picked queen 10, another heart would have popped up and the ace high flush is boss.

it just happened a couple few days ago..

i picked the hand with top pair and felt stupid when i got it wrong for not realizing four clubs were already showing.

seriously wtf is going on here?!?

there is no way anyone can convince me the people who got this one right picked it for any other reason besides the half assed little straight draws that didnt even end up happening anyway..

it damn sure wasnt because they were counting on the 7 to pair.

guarantee if i picked 6 7, something would have happened to make 5 ace win with a boat.

and theres still no straight answer as to whether or not we are meant to consider the other hands when figuring odds..

some people say yes and some people say no.

ive asked the devs a few different times, but i never received any response.

looking at this board, i almost feel like we have to consider the other hands because the fact that three 5s, two 10s, and two aces are already burned is the only way i can accept it being a c hair more likely that a 7 is in the last two cards rather than another 5, 10, or ace; and if thats the case, then another 9 or another jack are just as likely as a 7, and either one beats it.

but if we arent supposed to consider the other hands, then another 7 appearing in the last two cards is no more likely than another 2, 3, 6, 9, jack, queen, or ace; and if thats the case, then all five other hands should rank higher than 6 7.

even if one of the last two cards is a 6 or 7..

if the other card is a 9, then 6 7 loses to ace 9

if its a jack, then 6 7 loses to jack 5

if its a queen, then 6 7 loses to both queen 2 and queen 3

and if its an ace, then 6 7 loses to both ace 9 and 5 ace

all five other hands have just as much chance to pair as 6 7 and if any one of them does they beat 6 7 even if it also pairs

if all six hands have the same chance of pairing and one of those pairs is beat by any of the other pairs then the hand with that loser pair should be ranked lowest, not highest.

so if we dont consider the other hands, then its just as likely 6 7 hits a pair than doesnt, or hits a pair and still gets beat.

the only thing i can think of that comes anywhere even remotely close to explaining the extra percentage point for 6 7 is if we are in fact meant to consider the dead 5s, 10s, and aces coupled with the shitty straight draw, but im still not buying it.
