anyone notice this too

Post by iluvsummer »

I have been playing vp for many years.I have played over a million hands im sure and I never once had a poker hand where all 5 cards ended up in order of their value from left to right . Example 1-2-3-4-5 or 9-10-j-q-k.Never had a strait,or even a  flush example  (2h-4h-8h-jh qh)or st flush or a royal flush where all 5 cards were lined up in exact order of their value..The next time you play see if you notice this too.Every time i hit a strait,flush,st flush or royal flush i keep watching to see if it will happen so far it has not.

I have no idea what game you're playing but I see examples of this continually. Lots and lots of sequential straights and I've even had a dealt sequential royal flush.

For anyone interested here's the probability of getting a left-right sequential straight. The arrangement of the cards can be computed using permutations. There are 120 possible arrangements for 5 cards (5! = 5*4*3*2*1). Therefore, you should see a sequential straight once every 120 times you get one. It would not be uncommon that you just didn't happen to notice.

I'll translate the problem for you:
 
1. I don't disbelieve you but it is highly unlikely.
2. shadow won't accept it because it doesn't fit into the math model nice and neatly, and since you're playing at an Indian casino the way he does nearly every day, there's no way to make a negative comment about their machines possibly being rigged.
 
Solution: Refrain fromn playing at crooked Indian casinos--which all are.

I got one on this site that was 23456 once and I was hoping it would pay extra! I guess it paid me twice of nothing so I can be happy about that.

I saw someone win with a royal sequential at the Taj for over 150,000 dollars-she had it dealt to her! FREAKY! I saw it though so I know its true!

There are several casinos around LV with $2 sequential royal progressives that go quite high as you would expect, and there are even people who believe when they get over 100% theoretically (closer to 102% in reality) that there is "value" in playing them--win or lose. If you follow what "advantage players" claim, you'd see where they say if they put through $200,000 chasing a sequential that was at +3%, whether they won it or lost a bundle playing wasn't the issue. They say they've earned "$6000 in value" from the play.    $6000 in phantom bucks....now there's something your banker wants to see. I teach people to stay away from that baloney--it's only going to hurt you. It's absolutely useless playing to hit a sequential RF, just like it's crazy to play to hit a royal. If you learn to play properly you'll understand you never have to hit a royal to win nearly every time out.

I doubt you can find many advantage players who would chase a sequential royal ... unless the game was positive without it. I've already demonstrated in other threads that the rest of your claims are questionable at best.

I played delux deuces wild last night on this site for two hours and while I was dealt many many straights, not one was consecutive.
