Has this ever happened to you? Simultaneously the same hand on two different platforms.
If you have any hands like this, please post them here in the replies.

P.S.: Funnily enough, I won both hands. One I busted. The other, nobody paid the c-bet.

Yes, it happens all the time, as the randomizer is a computer program and might use digital input to randomize hands, like, for example timestamp.

Hello, this happens quite often, and I see it not only with me. At such moments, paranoia sets in and I begin to think that this is some kind of casino that you are being tricked into...

Yes, it happens all the time that if you are given cards in one tournament, you also get the same cards in another tournament, and this is what many players have. I noticed this if you've noticed that if you are 10th in one tournament and just enter another, you move quickly to places and win chips and reach about the same place, I also noticed

One hand win and the other fold

I had JJ fall out in 3 tournaments at the same time, and I lost in all-in with them

Interesting idea, I don't remember ever having the same cards in my hand, on different platforms, it's true that I wasn't even interested in this, but I'll really watch it from now on and I think the maximum coincidence would be that the flop contains approximately the same cards

I don't know what percentage this happens, but it's happened to me too, I'll always play looking for the ev+ move.
If I need to 3-bet I will do it or call and play in position I will also do it but always adapting to the players at my table.

Same as the other, had been there already, it's all up to computer stuff, long story short, it's hard as heck for the computer to truely calculate a REALLY random number, so, ALL the sites and any other systems use some variations of that "perfect" randomizer algorithm. Tho, the duplicity of results.

Oh FFS... it's not the randomizer. It just happens. You play enough hands and you will see a lot of rare stuff. And let's face it... we play a lot of hands online.

Follow-up. There are 1326 possible starting hands with 2 cards. So given any hand on table 1, there is a 1/1326 chance of the same hand being on the other table. If you play 1326 hands (or about 19 hours at 70/hr), you will likely see this happen once. So once every few days? Once a week?

Many times, it is not common, however, when playing 8-10 screens simultaneously, something out of this world does not happen, it happens reasonably.

This happened many times, especially when I played on 6 tables at the same time in cash games.

This situation looks funny. I always smiled when such cases happened to me. The hands fell out the same, but I played them differently depending on the position and the table.
