if it makes you feel better you're only 1/42 to make the correct folds

assuming your choice actually matters and it's not just randomized after you make the selection which would make way more sense from a programming pov

^^^ This, you shouldn't whine about winning. It's a clear case of winning and whining.

I expect OP's next post to be "Doom Switch Activated."

Last edited by 2pairsof2s; 06-07-2017 at 03:55 PM. Reason: OP you should have folded river, all you have is Ace high, you don't even have a pair

Next time you should discard five and keep king of spades, that will give you royal flush, it is obvious.

or am I wrong?

and its really pretty reasonable that its randomized after you discard but anyway I made a royal with 7 cards which is pretty rare

its 1 in 30940 I think

They show you that just to make you feel bad, it's all predetermined, I really doubt that you chose that K.

Legit beat. I wasted like 50-100k stars coins playing that sht, can't even remember how much. Asked pokerstars to ban me from it. They told me they can't do that and to stop being such a degen. This is an actual beat well worth whining about. My heart goes out to u op!

If I changed Stars Coins for money I would get $500 so it was not that bad

The funny part is that I never play only one hand

I always set up 70 star coins, choose 10 hands and let it ride

This was one of the few times I played with 1 hand only

When you choose more than 1 you dont need to discard
