Anyone know poker? FAO Mark...evidently... :)
 

How normal is it to be screwed over with pocket aces 11 times in an hour and a half?!

This is, other people having the aces, and hitting trips 8 times out if the 11...

AND AGAIN.

FFs thats 3 in a row now...


Was 200 quid up, only started with a tenner...now have nowt.

William hill does NOT use RNGs...not possible

What site do you go on? Do you do tornaments or just cash tables?

Cash tables, and it was william hill.


Im positive that the odds of that happening are like a million to one...just the way it happened, straight after each other, as soon as I hit £200 profit...plus all the trips...am still so pissed off now. Played like 5 hours to get that money.

Bad luck :S Cash tables are pretty risky though really, but you got very unlucky

Makes me question the RNG though...it just seems so...impossible, for it to happen that much in such a short time, Ive had my share of bad beats, I know they happen, but I have never ever seen anything like that in my life.

You gonna complain?

That sounds almost rigged. Luck like that just isn't right..

Not sure...doubt it would do much good to be honest

Theyl just BS on about how their software is fair and that

Yeah... I know. Gavs just woke up and said the same also, but not in those words

'********* fix that is, stay the **** off that site'

lol

Do the other players get like loyals loads or like you have a flush and they have two-pair and they only have one out on the river (assuming Texas Hold'Em is the game) and they hit it?

I used to go in Pacific Poker $30 tornaments, only had to finish in the top 3 about of 10, used to make quite a bit.

That happened a questionable amount of times too thinking about it...but didnt stand out as much as this million pocket aces s***....as it was spread out, and I know that that happens.

Royal Flushes are supposed to be very rare.. If you are seeing them often then something is definately wrong.

You should ask Mark about it.. he's the professional Poker player.. :thumbs:

I was playing for about 5/6 hours, and saw 4 royal flushes that I remember.

Is he? God, I dont know anything on here...

Mark aint a proffessional is he LOL!

Thought it was just a hobby

Mark is a pro.

Is that actually mark?!

If so, Ive seen him on telly before :S

Yes, that's actually Mark.

How do you not know this? LoL..


[edit: Just realised you have only been here for 6 months.. that explains it.. I always assumed you'd been around for years]

Professional Poker is the **** they play on Channel 5

The Elite is the home to speed run competition for GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark.

Wouldn't call that pro

:joker:

I call it 'pro' if someone can make enough money to live on by playing it.

He looks well different on that pic

stand back people and please welcome POKER MARK!!!!!!!!!!

*poker face plays and arista and jayson fan mark with feathers as he walks in to start playing*

I don't think he does tbh.


edit to add: LoL PJ.

I knew he played from his facebook...but didnt realise how serious he was about it...and didnt realise Id seen him on tv before...looks loads different in shades :)

I dunno if he was on TV, but I did know he makes enough from playing to not have to work full-time, so I'd say it's more than just a hobby lol.

He hasn't been on tv surely

Bravo ameatur Poker Championships....

****ing hell he played for 12 mil.

I have definitely seen him on tv somewhere, Im sure of it. That picture is so familiar...was a couple of years back though I think...

I'm sure he'll pop in with a informative post lol

I was just about to say that Joe. He'll no doubt grace us with his presence to clarify all this at some point.. LoL

Dont be silly PJ

He did it says it in that article LOL
