Poker Rooms on Cruise Lines throw odds???

When on a Cruise Line from Florida to the Bahamas and back, I think the odds were crazy in my favor! I normally play on 10 or 9 person tables, but on the cruise line there were tables of 5 with a dealer. In my mind I changed the odds of making hands proportionately, but that didn't seem to work. Not that I minded, but I was getting pairs like there were no end to them and flopping trips and 4 of a kind regular. And when that wasn't happening I was getting KQ, A with JKQ10 and filling 10 to A straights like mad. I tossed only about one hand per 6 or 7 and played all 6 or 7 to win, wife and I are going to cruise on the west coast and I hope to whomever smilled on me last year will come see me again...

The cruise i went on had the stupid pokertek table things. I wont complain though because i netted a profit of $800. It was all 200nl, but everyone (except me) bought in for $50 lol

I just PM'd KMC about this about some tips for the pokertek table, i will be playing on a cruise come Thursday to Mexico!

Other than saying you had a good run of cards, I'm not sure what you're getting at Lad. The odds of you making a hand (if you stay in as often) doesn't change with the # of players, but the odds it will be the best hand does. Obviously, on average you don't need as big a hand shorthanded.

D'willius ??? Do you mean I have the same odds of getting a good hand if there are 9 at a table as I do if there are 5. The difference is 18 cards delt to 10 cards delt, it looks to me that I would have 8 more cards to make good hands, but then I was never good at math..

Thats exactly what I mean. It doesn't matter if the cards are still in the deck or in someone's hand, your odds are the same. Any cards you can't see are part of the "deck" for all purposes (except when you can put villain on a hand)
