When is a flush not a flush

[Delenia]

I agree, using the 4 color deck helps to eliminate this error!

Sometimes if I happened but more was because I confused the tables since I was playing two tournaments I had TA of clubs in one and in another I had Ak of spades and where I had the nanod and pivas, there was a club and when I confused the tables I went with everything and one Once the bet was made, I saw that they were spades and not clubs

opinion

I call these hands an inferior flush when you can see on the board that your opponent is beating your hand. In general, what is not a flush to an ace is an inferior nut.

I was playing a cash game enjoying a cold drink and floped a flush,
I thought. I had A 2 of hearts and 3 hearts came up on the flop, so I
started betting and after the river came I lost with A high.I looked at my hold
cards and noticed a water droplet on my tablet, wiped it off and noticed
my 2 of hearts was a 2 of diomands. Anybody else ever misread there hand?

This sounds so painful! Never happened to me before but on pokerstars it shows you your hand (written below) so makes it easier. Not got accounts on other poker sites so not sure what or how things are for different poker sites.

My eyes are not as good as they used to be. Which was never good. I have been thinking that I need to go to the colored cards where they are available.

I can relate, but doesn't happen to me, since I swapped to 4 colored deck

 

[CTPA3]

yes, this also began to happen to me, and if I used to play several tables, and I was quite comfortable, now it's not very much, since you need to increase the table almost to the full screen so as not to make a mistake

When is a flush not a flush


Is this a trick question? Is this really a thing? This community has really made me feel like I need to put more time and energy into studying.

Four color deck for me, doesn't cover all misreads. but helps me.

Eyes can play tricks after playing for too long

 

[mervin88]

[zorro222_zorro222]

When you don’t have 5 cards of the same suit.Duh

 

[Baldy86]

in a live game i once thought i have a straight or flush i dont remember anymore and after the river when we showed our cards i confidently said "straight " and thought i am winning ....but my buddies told me i dont have it ....then i put my sunglasses down and looked shocked at the board ....we laughed

Often, I think I have AA that magically turns into A4 after I put on my reading glasses.

5s and 6s are quite similar on some sites fonts. I once thought I had 66 but I put on my glasses in time to see I had 56o.

I think this happens with everyone when you get tired of a long game, or drink a lot of cold drink, you begin misread a hand.

 

[shadoman]

I have misread flushes during live play , those sting a bit at a full cash table with 8 or 9 other pairs of eyes witnessing the event. all one can do is try to double check and triple check their whole cards discreetly. preferably in a way that doesn't give up the strength of the hand.

 

[blata8ruga]

I have read the cards wrong just because I was so tired, this has happened to me a couple of times.

Very bad for the nervous system if you play Flush vs Flush.
