Yep, I'm new to both Poker and this forum, but I have a question about something which has confused me and I'm hoping for an explantion.

I was playing the pokerstars Demo and I won a hand I thought I should have lost. I am confused.

Can someone help me to understand why my hand won?

I was on the button with the 5 of clubs and the 3 of spades, I thought I was beaten by Vanessa, but I won.

:jd4:

I'm thinking you downloaded a virus.

It is just the demo on the PokerStars website. My guess is, if you have an account already it doesn't show. Half the time I got the Neymar advert, the rest of the time the free Demo was available.


I'm thinking you downloaded a virus.

Funny you should say that. On downloading the actual application on pokerstars.com for the very first time my virus software (Symantec) flagged it as suspicious. So I binned the download and didn't install.



In the PokerStars demo, even with my very limited playing skills, I always seemed to gain far more chips over my psuedo opponents. Which is why I played out a hand like that. Even for me the results were suspicious.

I got the impression they want noob fish to be suckered-in with the feeling that poker is so easy and anyone can win and hoped I didn't notice the incorrect result.

I may be a noob to Poker, but I'm not a noob to life.

You didn't win. Maybe a glitch in the demo software?

That doesn't happen in actual play.

It does in my mind when I'm in a hand with you. Do you have a glitch too :p
