PRIMA strikes again

**runlolarun** · 1st September 2006, 04:57 AM

I had an experience at Purple Lounge poker site (Prima) where I and another guy went all in he wins and yet there was no show down. The hand was not shown in hand history only my hand was shown. After numerous emails on the matter a support person finally writes back saying this guy had a better hand than my two pair, and sorry for the inconvenience the software should of shown the hand. That was all I got. What type of reputable site has mishaps like this? Two all ins, but only one set (the losing set) of cards is ever shown, and the other no show guy wins the pot.

Seems like that's definately a bug. Even though they can now muck a showdown when all-in, it should still show up in your hand history.

There's a prima rep on board (link is in above post). Might want to run this by him.

I know they just recently added the option to muck on a showdown even if you're all in (before, they flipped the cards up as soon as you went all in, just like tournament play), so maybe this hasn't been reported yet.

lol no credible evidence prima poker is rigged?
The only evidence possible would be to check the code line by line,
including that nasty subroutine

Anyway it is not rigged in the way many people think.

I have had my series of bad beats in prima, like $20 in 0.25/.50 in like an hour, the flop never hit, i played broadways and see a lot of babies just for someone cassually have played 7-4os and made two pair, lost a lot when i had the ladies and in a 3 way raggedy flop i found my self almost drawing dead to cowboys and pocket rockets, what are the odds of that... anyways....

Bad beats happen, if you play enough bad starting hands eventually you'll make a bad beat to someon, i think, since i dont play that kind of hands...

In a cash game this is right, you shouldn't see an "on their backs" situation like tournaments.

Many online sites do show - and I much prefer it - but Prima are using the correct behaviour here.

Exactly....I just wish prima would implement a "fold and show" option like UB has; if you're the last to act.

Not so off topic, but with all the legal action being taken against the founders of Neteller, will prima continue to accept players from the US that aren't in the banned states?
