poker site mistake

[eruptive plot]

never seen this before.but this guy was raising preflop every hand,so i had enough and moved all in with my qk of spades.i thoght he may have an ace but ive made my move and so be it.anyway i won the hand but dont know why

Errm, how odd.

Unless the site thought the 4d was Js giving you the royal flush I can't see how you can win that hand as he has a full house. It even says your best hand is three of a kind

Maybe because you where in the dealers seat so can make up the rules as you go! :)

that is very odd, I think the same might have happened to me once where I couldnt find out why I had won, at the time i just assumed that I hadnt been concentrating enough and seen the cards properly which still might be the case, but this possibly shows that computers can make mistakes- and with nearly everything about our daily lives having something done by computers it makes the mind think about what other mistakes could be made that could really affect people.

but this possibly shows that computers can make mistakesThe computer did what it was told to do. By themselves they cannot make mistakes. The software developers made a mistake that wasn't picked up by the QA department

True but you are a N.E.R.D.:laugh

Yes true, well corrected, although am I right in saying that hardware that doesnt function properly can cause software to be damaged/corrupted? I know next to nothing about software so I could be totally talking out of my rectum.

I know next to nothing about software so I could be totally talking out of my rectum.The software itself shouldn't become damaged by faulty hardware unless we're talking about areas of the HDD going badly wrong, and then the software probably won't work at all. There's almost no way this could be a hardware issue, and if it was then you'd expect multiple tables to be affected in similar ways. On the other hand there are dozens of ways in which this could have been a software glitch

Very odd indeed - I have a screenshot of a similar thing that happened to me once - I wasn't involved in the hand but someone got busted out of a tournament when they shouldn't have done (by my reckoning). I'll dig it out later.
