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.:D
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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?!! :rolleyes:

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