Default Re: Five nut hands in a row out drawn

Oh, it acctually happened. My reaction was somewhat "hyperbole" going about and almost leaving the place and stuff. But thats what tilt can do to you.

But how grim does something have to be to be impossible?

Say a series of event has the probability of 1/1,000,000,000. Wouldn't that have happened to someone? Party has dealt over 3,000,000,000 hands since they started.

A series of events like stated are hardly comparable to any "30k break even streaks" but do I really have to be "hyperbole" to have an extreme series of events like this happen to me?

No you don't. But poker players are poker players and frequently seem to have an inability to tell such stories straight.

Since this was a probability question, I'll point out that the probability that you are exaggerating seems to be higher than that the events happened as you described them. If you provided hand histories, that would be a different story. If this plays true to form, you will not provide hand histories, however. You will say something along the lines that you can't be bothered to take to time to get hand histories for us or that your honor has been besmirched and you won't continue this conversation.
