Re: Tournament Frustrations...
Odds of getting 12x...Odds of getting a Royal...Odds of getting a Royal following a 12x...Odds of getting a DEALT royal following a 12x, or dealt royal with multiple multipliers on the board? = Some seriously lucky ******s

WM So what you are telling us is that we are getting some seriously unlucky ******s . All I was asking for was a lousy pair even let alone a RF.

boops, you're hilarious!
faygo, i've already gotten the royal with a 4x multiplier but my total score was just over 20,000 and not even close to making it in the top 10. ahhh!!

The worst part of this is that the whining isn't working. Another theory out the window.. I know what will work. Going to wear my VP.com Ball Cap. That will do it. Man, I'm smart. See you all at the top.

ok, but once you win and get that new vp software, remember all the little people like us

BUT, if you have enough VP-playing monkeys playing enough sessions for a long enough period of time, it becomes inevitable!

Wow! I've played more than 310,000 hands in the last 2 tournaments and all I get is junk. Faygo is right about this game never wanting to give a pair when there is a 10 or 12 multiplier. It was so painfully obvious.My "favorite" part of this tourney was when I was dealt a pair of Qs. One of them was a diamond and I also had a 10 of diamonds. I held the Qs and J,K,A of diamonds came out. I would've shrugged that off but it happened AGAIN only THREE HANDS LATER. I mean, talk about a programming "glitch". I threw away more royals than I actually got. I don't think I can emotionally handle another tourney on this site. It's just too rigged. Congrats to Scratch though! Good job!

The tournaments aren't rigged. It was mentioned earlier that prior to Scotch, none of the winners of previous contests had been Gold members. It's just a matter of luck. I do understand your frustations, however. I have not been lucky in any of the previous tournaments.
Late last year, I was at an indian casino here in CA and I was dealt a royal on 10-play video poker. I never thought something like that would happen to me. The odds are astronomical against it happening. So, you just have to realize the chance of getting 10 or 12X with a royal is a longshot and will happen only to a few lucky individuals, just as is the case when I was dealth the royal. It's not rigged.
