Re: [vpFREE] Re: Playing Short Coin - Dangerous OR Smart?

Not to mention that if you're "not holding a suited Q, 10 when I had two Q's and then watching the rest of the royal pop up" your deal would have been, for example, Qh-10h-Qd-x-x and after the draw in your example you would have had Qh-Jh-Qd-Ah-Kh. Not only would you have had to have drawn the A & K in exactly the same position, but the J would have had to have slid over into the Qd slot. If you assume that you would have taken EXACTLY the same time holding the 10h as you took holding Qd, and then pressed the deal button, you wouldn't have gotten the Jh where you wanted it. And if the J did come up there because you took a different number of nanoseconds, then the A-K in all probability wouldn't have been where they ended up.

Do you guys realize that you almost certainly would not have hit the royal if you had been pressing maxbet or deal instead of stopping to press betone once or three times. The cards would have been in a different position as they continuously shuffle until you press deal then continue to shuffle the remaining 48 till you press draw.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN BEATING YOURSELVES UP FOR NOTHING!
