Question by billy: I have a “Motown Legends Casino” poker chip. It has a 0 denomination on both sides. Where do i cash it in?
On the actual chip it says “www.motownlegendscasino.net “. I can’t find a website about it. So why would there be poker chips made, unless for promotion, but with $ 100 denomination printed on it? It feels like a real chip, and looks legit.

Question by Thats_me: Is Poker really beatable with Talent and no luck?
I am trying to find out a card game that can be beaten by talent not luck. I know Black jack can be beaten by Card counting but casinos now a days doesn’t allow card counting.

Also, i have heard in poker casinos don’t really care since we play against each other and not the casino… True?

Best answer:

Answer by King Julien
Yes. A great talent player will know when to bluff, call, raise, and sit to intimidate and throw off other players. You could win the game getting a pair of 2′s every hand.

Either he had a flush, or the site has a bug. Most likely he had a flush. There were 4 of the same suit on the board, and one of his aces were of that suit.

Question by born2survive: Hand not paid as it should have been on a major online poker site. What to do?
Was playing in a tournament at one of the biggest online poker sites and didn’t get paid as I should have done. I won the hand yet the pot was split. I was playing real money. The tounament was a 20 seater and cost $ 9 to enter. Anyone else had this happen to them or an idea of what I should expect back from the poker site in compensation?
Please note this has been checked by numerous people and the mistake is 100%. I had to replay the hand 3 times myself and show it to 2 other poker players to believe it myself. It is presently being investigated by the poker site. Just not sure what to expect from them?
The flop was AD, 9D, 4C, 4S, 9S. I had A5 he had A2. As you can see no flush or straight draw was out. We both had two pairs Aces and 9′s but the highest kicker (5th card) was my 5.

Answer by ZCT
I suspect that you misunderstood the hand.

Even the smallest and most basic poker sites are capable of figuring out which hand wins. There is no advantage to the site in ripping someone off with a split pot in a tournament that cost $ 9 to enter.

Most of the decent poker sites like Poker Stars and Full Tilt, have dealt over a billion hands. It just isn’t conceivable at this point that the computer cannot figure out the winner in a pot.

My guess is that you misunderstand kicker rules.

UPDATE:

Based on the hand you explained you would be correct, the five would play. If you have the exact hand data, email it to support@whateverpokersite.com and see what they say.

Honestly if you are correct in what the cards were, I cannot imagine a major site like Full Tilt or Poker Stars making that kind of mistake. So I suggest if you are 100% sure that the mistake happened, you pick a better site to play on.
