Nope, that one never happens and hence never surprises me.

The only thing that surprises me is when I somehow end up on the right side of a winning streak. The feeling is beyond compare, kind of my 'high'. Of course I spend most of my time searching for a repeat of that feeling.

An unexpected development of events. Sometimes there are situations where it's hard to believe that it's really happening. The game of poker is unpredictable and that's what makes it so exciting.

What really surprises me is that people who claim the game is rigged still keep playing (and complaining). 🙄
who likes to lose their money, even if you lose it in such a risky game as poker !

and suspicion does not mean anything bad

Nothing surprises me, to be honest. I've seen a lot of things in poker, and I can say that every day I play poker is like a yellow brick road. And hopefully someday I'll find what I'm looking for. ;)

That shock that the river brings when it takes away what was clearly yours.

Tears.

It will be a big surprise for me if suddenly online poker turns out to have an honest RNG when I start checking it with statistical methods )))))
I'm too lazy to check yet :D

How bad some of the players are. Back in 2007, 2010 I can understand it but these days, with all of the available information, with all of the streams with holecards revealed, etc. etc. and yet STILL some are just terrible players.

Thank God!

You may not believe me, but nothing surprises me in poker, the main problem is not falling asleep during the game when it’s already past midnight.

The only thing that surprises me nowadays are those boots that play chaotically.
