Re: Weirdest Poker Anamolies or Variance You've Experienced???

ive played poker constantly for like 8 years, and during that time got quads twice. Until one week last month when i got quads 12 times, flopping them twice in one day two times, and getting them three times another day.

Re: Weirdest Poker Anamolies or Variance You've Experienced???

Used to play the $100 winner take all freeroll on paradise almost every day for a couple months, the one time I win I only make $25 because the field was over 1000 people and payed to 9 people. Only time that happened in 30+ times I played it.

Hit quads 9's twice in the same night in a live cash game, got payed both times.

Miss-dealt a flop using the wrong deck, flop was the same cards when dealt with the right one.

I got AA five times in a row once live at some underground room when I was 18 - thought someone was going to kill me!

How did everyone miss this? How the hell do you continue to play when your board is covered in partially digested pasta?

Re: Weirdest Poker Anamolies or Variance You've Experienced???

I haven't cracked pocket 8's either with an over pair or two overs at showdown (or them showing their hand before showdown) for around 12 months.

Found that weird. One guy knocked me out of three SnG's with that exact hand each time within 25 minutes.

Also been dealt pocket Aces and Kings exactly once every 110 hands. I liked that one.

Re: Weirdest Poker Anamolies or Variance You've Experienced???

I lost 85.something% of flips when i was ahead within 3 hours.

4/7 times i had an overpair, i lost.

6/8 times i had a stronger A, i lost.

Anyone know how to calculate the odds of that happening? I saw that hand between Antonius and Robl in PLO where they calculated Robl winning all four runs was less than 1% so wondering if anyone knew how to do it on here.

I am a math-teacher, I sat down with my students and calculated the exact statistical probability of these events happening for you.
The result we came up with is:

Was dealt 3 pocket pairs back to back, hit sets with all 3 and stacked at least one person each time. Also been beaten on stars with flopped quads twice.

I once opened up a Spoiler in a math related post and it didn't say "3.50" inside, but:

There's no such thing as an anomoly when it comes to randomness.

This thread is like throwing a shovelful of sand on the ground and saying, "what patterns do you see in it".

Re: Weirdest Poker Anamolies or Variance You've Experienced???

got dealt KhQd then the flop was Ts6s2c and AT THE SAME TIME I had 8d5c on another tables with a flop of 8h3d2h. How crazy is that? Did anyone ever have the same thing happen?
