Re: [vpFREE] Re: Cards unhold themselves upon redealing. Does it happen?

You are indeed at the mercy of the person reviewing the situation, but the machine history does show the original dealt hand as well as the cards that were held and the resultant hand. In my experience which is long, I have had this happen to me twice where the result was costly enough for me to do something about it. Both times I was reimbursed for the difference with no problem, although the process does take some time and a couple of approvals. 

Regards

If I read you correctly, you really are at the mercy of the person reviewing the situation, as nearest I can ascertain, you/me have no proof that there was actually four of a kind there in your case, or the straight flush in my instance.

If so, I would guess the decision is going to be affected by your coin in and possibly your losses to that time???

I raised the question of cards unholding a while back, and got several confirmations of it happening to various posters here. At least several of us know it is possible, even though still not sure how it can happen.

So summarizing: It can happen. Not sure how it happens. It is not possible to prove the existance of the mis-held hand. And making the player whole is subjectively determined.
