The stastically unreasonable - Part 1
And this has a tie in to the "Free Trial period" to be discussed later. Actually, there will be lots of tie ins.
My all time favorite online poker experience is when I had worn out my welcome on a site and they just wanted me to go away. Poker is a win or lose, very few draws with split pots game.
Texas Hold'em - pair of KKs in the hole. OK that's worth a call. I end up winning a bunch of chips.
Next hand, another pair of kings!!! Wow I'm doing great. Someone raises, I call. The someone raises all in after an ace is flopped. I'm the chip leader with a great hand. I fold. My what a surprise, a pir of aces.
Now wait a second, wasn't I supposed to go all in with the last pair of kings and lose to two aces? Yep. But I didn't. So how about a third pair of kings?
Yep, go that. Folded immediately as stastically unreal.
And I got a king on the first card the next hand. I don't remember the outcome of the game, but I did a little math on the odds of getting seven kings in a row. The answer - ridculous. Freaking, not once in my lifetime but since the world ever existed ridiculous. All because they wanted to cheat me out of my stupid free poker chips.
I invite you - what are the odds of drawing seven consecutive kings (inluding only one poker winner.)
