Why are the headers different?
Why didn't you at least make them "3 minutes apart"?

First thing that struck me as well. Particularily the change in date format from "2006-07-28" to: "July, 28, ".

Also worth noting is that <font color="blue">00:22:04 </font> could be 12:22:24 AM, while <font color="blue">12:18:59 </font> could mean PM, which might be almost a 12 hour difference.

Sounds like they are using a predictable random number generator and started the sequence again in the same place.

Other words fixed?

Sounds more lazy than fixed. Although I have to say that that hand of all hands seems suspicious. Has anyone checked these hand IDs with Mansion yet?

[MicroBob]

Ummm...and it took you 2 weeks to decide to post these hands?

Somebody go ahead and check the hand-numbers if they like.
I also note that I haven't exactly seen a rash of "OMG, same hand over and over" type of posts about Mansion.

I don't see a way to check the hands with the Mansion client. I may be missing it, but it's slow and buggy so I haven't got a whole lot of patience for it.

[Tigermoth]

Easy solution: Write to Mansion support and ask for the hand histories for the two hand IDs posted.

The first hand is my cut and paste from the Mansion hand history and is in GMT It equates to 8:22PM EDT on the 27th.

The second is just a cut and paste from their e-mail. I honestly had not noticed the strange date format of their hand. The only reason I found out about this was the player 'Cap' saying in the chat window the next hand they had just seen the exact same hand occur at the other table. So I knew the times were very close when requesting the other hand history from Mansion. I looked at difference in hand number and then the difference in minutes.

I made a few other posts in this thread at another place

It took 2 weeks of e-mails before they finally sent me the details of the second hand I was requesting. I'll send e-mail chaint to anyone who wants it. Or more simply as you suggest, simply ask Mansion for the hands yourself.

I'll be gone til late Saturday/early Sunday

I would tend to believe that this happened. I played at one of the bigger sites and no longer play there for to many similarities of sorts. Too many times pocket pairs dealt to 2 people and a number of times i had KK and another player had AA. I multitabled, and would on many occasions get the same 2 cards at different 2 diffeent tables.

He x-posted this on another site where he has been posting for a few months and nothing indicates that he is making this up. Obviously we need to hear from mansion poker to get their version of the facts.

If someone who has an account there does ask Mansion for the hand histories, ask them for 3211050-3211149 (100 hands).
It would be interesting to know if there were issues with other hands right around that time frame.

Oh, and is the Shrink still involved with the Prescription?
