Re: Mansion Deals Exact Same Hand 3 Minutes Apart (hand histories inc)
and the fact is, such a weird occurance COULD actually happen just by chance.
It could just be that in this case we had one guy who was at both of the tables to see it in this situation AND commented on it AND his comment got noticed by somebody else.
I think back to when I was briefly a blackjack dealer and I was dealing a game called 21+3.
It has a side-bet that pays 9:1 if you get a hand that is about a 10:1 shot to hit.
I had one guy who hit it 5 out of 6 times right when he sat down. Ended up hitting it 15 of 21 times or something ridiculous. The floor was incredulous that sombody hit it over and over as much as he did and the odds on this happening had to be pretty huge.
I've heard of a guy getting a royal-flush on caribbean stud. Deciding to play just one more hand at another table on his way out, and hitting ANOTHER royal-flush.
I mean, weird stuff DOES actually happen.
And you have thousands and thousands of internet players playing millions of hands EVERY DAY.
Yes, that's right, millions of hands every freaking day.
I think we tend to forget that because in our own narrow world we can only actually PLAY or WITNESS just a few thousand hands per day.
So something that is even a 10-million to 1 shot IS bound to come reasonably frequently actually in this crazy high-volume universe of internet-poker.
