Thanks,
so it's a playback bug

...and it started as one of the most promising 'it is rigged' threads

 

[iwont20]

Yeah, playback bug, but the guy was obviously watching Omaha game and saw that more than two cards are being dealt (proof -- background), yet came and made it look like it was Holdem with all the "losing hands being awarded not for the first time" talk.

Should have said, playback is wrong or something if that's was the point. To me it looks like either a troll or a complete rookie, but as a rookie you still able to see that more than two cards are being dealt!

 

[DaveE]

It's possibly a loading issue on his end, the picture stopped loading after the first two cards? We see weird things sometimes when we have a bad connection or low memory.

Anyway, there's no way the players weren't seeing all their cards.

 

[shadowbot]

Well, all I can honestly say is I have replayed hands 1000s of times and have never noticed a lag issue before. I can say with confidence I have never replayed a PLO hand and had 2 of the 4 hole cards fail to show. That is very odd in itself. And the connection here is stable.

and reproduction error proved RT terminating the subject

And next time please take a picture of the entire screen. I could only pull up the one showing just the lower left quadrant of the screen.

 

[GRIN281289]

Then just tell me how to resize the pics so they can be posted. That would be fine as well. I dont need your e-mail, just instructions. I clicked on the editing button and tried to attach the file but the pics were so big you could only see 1/4 of the picture. The Picture shows a player being given credit for a straight from 6-10 but there is no 7 on the board and he is holding As9c and the board is Q 6 8 3 10. It also credited riverpaigow with having JJ when there is no J on the board and he was holding AJ and prosvetkenny was holding Q8 and lost the hand when he was the winner of a 3457 USD pot. And this is not the first time I have seen this.

Good evening. so you can upload the screenshots on the forum. interesting topic thanks to what we were told.

It is odd but I'm sure the players would have noticed 2 hole cards instead of 5 if they showed that way in the actual hand.

As other people have said, the most likely explanation is a glitch in the replayer

 

[ivanobe]

i would hace been very surprise this was true playing for many years in PS never hread such case
