Joe,

Your quote had the most "complain(ing)s in it, so I used yoursā€¦ hahahahaha
Yes I was also responding to youā€¦ but No, the ā€œyouā€ in my statement didnā€™t mean you per-say.

Iā€™m just reading and liking and not saying sh*t lol

W/O the personal there wouldnā€™t be any fun and entertainmentā€¦

Reminds me of the part in the movie Gladiator when Russel Crowe is standing in the middle of the arena and yells to the crowd " well , are you not entertained ? "

@staff,

you just moved like 20 days worth of ā€œproudest replay handā€ cause someone got off topic. Was that necessary ? If so, might as well roll 40% of the forum into ā€œThe Fairness Debateā€ā€¦

RALPHIE FOR PRESIDENT

Viva Presidente Ralphieā€¦:hear_no_evil::see_no_evil::speak_no_evil:

What is his position on N Korea?

Completly agree, if you donā€™t purchase chipsā€™
then you don,t stand a cat in hells chance.

why buy chips with no chance of a return ?

Itā€™s a game of chance called poker.

Those flops are not nearly as common as you propose. Chance of flopping a
set with pocket pair 11.8% and 1.35% without. Flopping a flush draw with
suited pocket cards 11% and 1.12% without.

I agree with Ballack. In real poker played with humans, you donā€™t get as many pairs on the flop, potential flushes or straights. Also I have noticed, and tried many times, if I fold, many times my cards show on the flop. really unrealistic. Also I have noticed, an agressive player that has many chips will win the pot 80% of the time on an all in situation. The cards should be dealt realistically, even if it is a free site

How come this isnā€™t rare if itā€™s random? This kinda thing happens every 3 or 4 hands. Itā€™s brutal. Terrible calls being rewarded. Hot seats the only explanation. Donā€™t anyone come on here and try and suggest the river saves just as often as in real hands of poker. Not a chance itā€™s this regular. Iā€™ve played enough to know. Two good hands going all in and getting beaten sure it happens. But there are morons on here must think theyā€™re genuises because of how succcessful they are throwing on their chips in the hope of hitting one card and getting it or ya know, much more likely, maybe theyā€™ve twigged that on here they will hit it. Itā€™s Replayā€™s USP. Have a mad bet 5/6 times. Youā€™ll get lucky 3/4 times. that is a generous rate. Iā€™m the idiot that keeps coming back to the bent ā– ā– ā– ā– . https://www.replaypoker.com/hand/replay/328474201/straight-ten-to-ace

Greetings Mr. Fox,
Iā€™d like to try and help if youā€™ll allow me to offer you my view, and thatā€™s all it is, my opinion or food for thought.
Hands
Yourā€™sā€¦ ā€¦3 of Diamondsā€¦ King of Clubs
Hisā€¦ Jack of Spadesā€¦ King of Spades

Before the flop thereā€™s a $219 Pot. -
Flop comes:
3 of clubs ā€¦ Q of Hearts ā€¦ K of Hearts

First to act bets the pot $220 to you
You re-raise to $920 and he calls
Hereā€™s where I see youā€™re heading into some of pokerā€™s more common, as well as extremely dangerous and murky waters. Thatā€™s how the vast majority of poker players play your handā€¦ Myself on the other hand, play and view this hand entirely different.
First, I would give those 2 suited runners tremendous respect. You have top pair bottom pair. Certainly a good hand in most circumstancesā€¦ Except this scenario for sureā€¦
If I have your hand right now Mr. Fox, I want to end this hand, a potential night mare for you. Right here and now. Neither of you have enough chips to influence each other so I would go all in and make him pay with all of his chips if he is drawing at me. Most likely heā€™ll throw everything away except 2 hearts, a premium pair, or Ace with some kind of a kicker. So this is the deciding point with me. Iā€™d go all-in and take the chips that are out there and wait for the next handā€¦You should see one heck of a turn around in your bankroll if youā€™ll add these thoughts to your game I believeā€¦ :sunglasses:

RP staff will defend their ā€œdealersā€ to the death. But hands per hour doesnā€™t explain consecutive strings of paired boards and draws. And yes, bad beats happen, especially in low stakes, but the frequency on this site is unreal. Best possible odds of completing a flush draw 6-handed are 9:36 (25%).

Greetings Bobby & Replay Family,
Iā€™m sure I can help if you or the others would like to read onā€¦
First Bobby, please follow up with a little more information about the dealer thing being defended. I didnā€™t follow it clearly I think.

Our good friend CairnDestop supplied us with the perfect outline to use to actually check your play and tables outā€¦ Itā€™s as good as any Iā€™ve ever seenā€¦

Iā€™m always saying this site doesnā€™t provide the necessary statistics for a proper analysis of oneā€™s play or the effectiveness of the RNG. However, I never show what can be done if given the proper tools. The statistics that follow are actual and mine. I used nothing more fancy than pencil, paper, and a very basic Excel spreadsheet. I must also add that this covered my last 15 months of play on another site.

This one will take a little reading. BUTā€¦ Itā€™s the same exact principle of theory all casinos understand as the keys to the kingdomā€¦ ā€œThe law of large numbersā€
Not only does it simplify the understanding of how casinos rake it in everyday while people left and right are winningā€¦What a business, Believe meā€¦
The other not so obvious unintended consequences of this theory is, it points out the exact personality traits of ā€œThe Oddsā€. Implied or otherwiseā€¦
Lets take the new, more fancy word thatā€™s tied and weaved into and throughout the fabric of this ā€œlaw of large numbersā€. ā€œImplied Oddsā€ as itā€™s called. What does that mean to you personally ? I know what all the books say, most all of us do. What is your deeper understanding you have personally ? Is it turning out the way you thought it should ? Seems like a lot of folks get steamed pretty easy all the time when things seem to happen out of their expectations of the odds and the gameā€¦Yet thereā€™s a much smaller group lucky enough to understand some of the these principles well enough to make them successful and flourish in poker and in gambling in generalā€¦
Iā€™ve put in a friend request to youā€¦ If you find this interesting enough, let me know, then we can continue uninterruptedā€¦:sunglasses:.
