BAD BEAT!

by **rabin** on Wed Jan 25, 2006 2:47 pm

Not sure how many of you play poker, but was wondering what is a worse "beat"--having AA and losing to runner runner straight, or going 13 on 3 to take a country and not breaking it?

Cause all have happened to me, more than once!

This site is rigged just like the online poker sites-probably using the same software Lackattack is using!

Alright, I'll look into the dice again.

Instead of generating one random number on the fly, I might have to prepare a super huge list of random numbers in advance and take from the list.

I need to find an expert on this stuff...

OR we could say that you had bad luck with those turns and leave the system alone....... ?

yes, i think the dice a sufficiently random, people just complain because it happens, deal with it! sorry to be so short, its just that its plenty random, that's the whole point of random, you win some you lose some, then you win a lot in a row and lose a lot in a row, i do not see anyone here going, "I won 12 countries in a row! and that's not supposed to happen! i was cheated! get a new dice roller"

... What language is this thing written in? I mean, generating random numbers is a piece a pie in anything .NET.

.. (but I've never written anything this complicated, no doubt bugs could pop up that I can't even imagine...) :roll:

the randomness is good. You should be able to lose in those cases.

Listen, shit happens... and today you are the toilet

rabin, I think I found your thread about risk in a texas hold'em forum that lead me here.

Thanks for spreading the word about this site! I just stated today.

BTW, does anyone know any sites that plays no-limit texas hold'em?

I know there alot of limit texas hold'em sites like in games.yahoo or pokerroom.com, but I haven't found one with no limit yet.

LOL, thanks Volkmar...it's just so annoying knowing that you are the best at something(RISK, POKER), but can't always win :wink:

I used to play at Pokerroom for a long time, but no longer--STAY AWAY!

Oh and to all of you who posted here and in a sort of way told me to stop crying, well, my post was just being funny...but in all serious now, this is what I say to you --following was deleted by MODERATOR--

Well, having AA and losing to runner runner straight is no different than having say 9T, hitting a pair of tens and losing to 34 to runner runner two pair.

Runner runner is considered a out, so therefore, from the flop, there is a 2% chance of hitting runner runner, generally. If one of the outs hits on the turn and makes more outs, then its about a 3.5-4% chance of hitting the runner runner.

13 men against 3 however...

This takes several cases:

1. You start with 13 men, and roll 3 dice till you reach 3 men, and 1 die for 2 men.

2. He rolls 2 dice until he comes to 1 man.

3. You roll until he is absolete or you are down to 1 man.

4. The defender wins ties.

I am not sure what the exact odds for this is, I will create a java program to try this really quick. I'll update you. I'm bored at work, got nothing better to do.
