My calculations make it 4,221,620,675 to 1 so it's nowhere near as uncommon as you might think.  :)

Similar thing happened to me a few weeks back where I did two lucky dips at the newsagent and got the exact same set of numbers from the random machine.

That night I won the jackpot, twice.

I am sort of disbelieving this..!!  I will explain...

In game 1... and Game 2...  Player called Hero is sitting in a slightly different position.  Ie.. Game 1..  Player who is is playing after Hero is "drainbamaged82", but in game 2, "todowins" is playing after Hero. (I dunno, maybe they all shuffled seats after game 1)

In game 1, it goes unraised, so, the SB player should act first, that never happened.  SB and BB still in the game, but neither of them got a fold post flop.

In game 1, why didnt hero post $4 blinds pre flop, instead, he checks as if he is the BB.  Surely without posting the BB, he aint even in the hand?

In game 1, Hero "checks" which should have said, GrafhamGrinder "Checks"...

In Game 1, it does not say that Hero won $xx

In game 2, Hero, calls $2.  Surely that is not enough to play the hand on a $4 BB?

In game 2, todowins "checks", and it is correct that he should check because he is the BB, but the previous line should say what action GrafhamGrinder would have done from the SB, ie, fold or play the extra $2 or raise..

In game 2, there are 3 players in the hand post flop, but the history only shows 2 people acting.


Am I missing some wierd things going on, on websites that show a phoney looking history?  Can someone confirm I am not talking complete sh**??

You got confused!

I am sort of disbelieving this..!!  I will explain...

In game 1... and Game 2...  Player called Hero is sitting in a slightly different position.  Ie.. Game 1..  Player who is is playing after Hero is "drainbamaged82", but in game 2, "todowins" is playing after Hero. (I dunno, maybe they all shuffled seats after game 1) - In game 1, Hero is BB, "todowins" is UTG. In game 2, Hero is SB, todowins is BB

In game 1, it goes unraised, so, the SB player should act first, that never happened.  SB and BB still in the game, but neither of them got a fold post flop. - SB folded pre. BB is Hero

In game 1, why didnt hero post $4 blinds pre flop, instead, he checks as if he is the BB.  Surely without posting the BB, he aint even in the hand? - he is the BB.

In game 1, Hero "checks" which should have said, GrafhamGrinder "Checks"... - Hero IS GrafhamGrinder

In Game 1, it does not say that Hero won $xx - I'm assuming he's taken that out to save space in post.

In game 2, Hero, calls $2.  Surely that is not enough to play the hand on a $4 BB? - He's the SB.  It's $2 to complete

In game 2, todowins "checks", and it is correct that he should check because he is the BB, but the previous line should say what action GrafhamGrinder would have done from the SB, ie, fold or play the extra $2 or raise.. - it does "Hero calls $2"

In game 2, there are 3 players in the hand post flop, but the history only shows 2 people acting. - you're wrong. there is 2


Am I missing some wierd things going on, on websites that show a phoney looking history?  Can someone confirm I am not talking complete sh**?? - you are!

Adam,
is this person you?

How is anyone reading that supposed to know that name changing has been going on.  It is done badly and if so, has some missed out.  Not very bright.!!  LOL...
