What are the percentages??

What are the odds against me winning this hand??
So I was playing a sng on FT last night, and went all in only to be beaten by a full house K full of aces. This was at the next to last table so I had a good stack too.
I about screamed when this happened because it took me from first in a 90 player tourney to absolute last. Was I wrong to go all in with 4 bullets?
Luckily it was just free play but it sure would have been nice.
Thanks in advance!!

I don't understand your post, are you saying that your 4 of Kind Aces lost to a Full House, becuase that is the way your post reads?

#3 5th March 2008, 4:40 PM

The odds were 0% of you losing. Four bullets (4 Aces) is better than a Full House last I checked.

#4 5th March 2008, 5:41 PM

Wow! that IS bad luck!

#5 6th March 2008, 2:45 AM

I donno how I lost with that hand, but I did, I had AA he had AK and flop was KAA river K.

That would mean there were 5 aces.

Actually, haven't had a drink since New Years Eve 2007 or whatever this past one would be. LMMFAO

Soooo, go find the hand history. I want to see what actually happened, if the board is anything like you say it was you had the absolute nuts.

did you muck ur cards before you showed?? that would mean you lose

#15 6th March 2008, 8:55 AM

I will bet that is exactly what happened, I have auto muck on every room I play at.

#16 6th March 2008, 8:26 PM

I don't think Auto muck, mucks winning hands though. It just won't show your hand if you didn't win. Or am I wrong about that.

#17 7th March 2008, 12:40 AM

Auto-muck never mucks a winning hand, at least not on PokerStars. It's even in their FAQ.

#18 7th March 2008, 4:45 AM

Come on guys, everyone knows 2 sets beats 4 of a kind.
This should be a lock for the bad beat jackpot.

#19 7th March 2008, 5:39 AM

i think the most logical explanation is that this never happend or it didn't happen the way it was stated.

Of course, but I still want to see what actually happened and how this guy could mess up the hand so much

#21 7th March 2008, 7:40 PM

He's misinterpreting the hand, or it's a worse version of this hoax:

Go to your PokerStars folder (in "My Computer", probably in the "Program Files" folder on your C: drive) and look for a folder called "HandHistory"; they're all in there . . . do us all a favor and post it here so we can put it to bed, ok?!!

#23 8th March 2008, 2:06 AM

Why would it be in his Pokerstars folder, if he was playing at Full Tilt?

#24 8th March 2008, 2:25 AM

lol at OP

Anyway, whatever I said there, and replace "PokerStars" with "Full Tilt Poker".

PROOF!!! If the tournament ended like the picture said there wouldn't have been an outcome with winners.

FYI - This was a screen shot. It is straight from the pokerdb.com website.

I'm so confused as to what in the world you're even referring here, much less what this has to do with Nick's original quandary. . . .

#28 9th March 2008, 10:35 PM

Look at the tournament ID# on the picture. Then look at the tournament ID# on my attachment. They match...

If there was an outcome to the tournament aka someone won, 2nd place, 3rd, ect. Then the picture must be a fake.

Is that simple enough for ya?

Oh, you're talking about that hoax thing someone inserted . . . thanks for "clearing that up", but I think everyone knows that, obviously, the pic is a fake -- I hardly think we needed "proof" for that. Anyway, the OP had absolutely nothing to do with this hoax thing, which is why I was quite confused as to why you would insert PS tournament results here when Nick was playing on FT (as someone else pointed out earlier after I mixed it up, too). . . .

pic or hand history please

Billy, thanks for the info but I have this stupid Vista OS and can't seem to find any such files, but will keep looking.

Ok, no problem; also, it occurred to me later that FullTilt doesn't automatically save your hand histories on your computer . . . you have to enable that option in your account, and if you don't have this enabled, all your HHs are lost after you log out. For future reference, I'd highly recommend you set your FT up to save them; the file folder should be the same no matter what version of Windows you use, but I'm not familiar with Vista, so I'm not sure about that.

Thanks, I will go change that immediately.

email support and ask for hand history,but don't think they are going to send you proof that they had 5 As in a deck, you had A4
