I don't get it. He has a straight flush with an Ace and you have a straight flush with a 6.

A>6

He should win the pot.

Id love to know the odds of this, and the odds that he broke his mouse out of frustration lol.,

I know its micky d stakes but still, blinds are blinds and poker is poker..

Still sick though

Well, the odds for you making a straight flush are 22 % (2/9), since they're are 9 cards that make a flush, but only two that make a straight flush. If you make a straight flush, he can either also have made a straight flush or he didn't, so the odds for both having a straight flush is 22/2 = 11 %.
Odds for him having broken his mouse i can't calculate though, that's pretty complicated.

Ok so I've crunched the numbers and the odds are actually 25% for each.

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

I don't get it. The board has 5432. You either have the 6, or you don't.

It's like having the K

on a XXXX board. One card to the nuts and you have the second nuts.

One REALLY tough beat is when you have AX on something innocuous-looking like 8 X X 6 4, unpaired, and lose. IMO it's as bad as losing with the nut FH to the lone possible quads.

This 100%. OP, there's no way that someone lost straight flush vs straight flush. I don't think that's ever happened (yet at least). So the chances of this being real are very, very low.

Nice try with the photoshop.

If you have a straight flush the only possible way to lose the hand is if you are up against a royal flush. I see no high suited cards on this board so nobody can have a royal flush in his hands. It's just impossible to lose with a straight flush on this board.

It´s always good to use your bad luck at lower stakes. This way, you will be on the good size once you move up.

It´s the same with variance. Try to run as bad as possible in terms of EV @NL10. Then, @NL100 you will make a lot of money.
