Stejames315 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Hi all, hoping someone can explain something to me. Playing a flip tournament for a £25 major ticket. Won my first table then was three handed at ‘final’ table (assume a chop on the other table?) , and don’t see how I came third? Take the player with the winning hand off the table and I have the second best hand? Sure there is some explanation/rule for it but I’m fairly new to poker, only started playing beginning of the year so I’d be grateful if someone could explain!!

Stubbe-Unibet Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Secondary finishing positions in case of equal stacks are not decided by hand strength but rather at random. Elsewhere you might see seat/position, being the deciding factor, but as this is practically only a thing in flips, we decided to keep that random element of flips.

That’s what I found strange in that it’s not a secondary finishing position as there was 2 tickets (first and second) so that seems a bit odd to me. I’d understand what you are saying if was only first place paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbe-Unibet Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 It's secondary finishing positions, as there's one winner of the hand and the two others essentially finish on equal terms (bust same hand with same stack), when we look at usual poker rules: hand strength is not used here.

Stejames315 Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 No worries and thanks for the reply. Not sure that I think it’s particularly good that a worse hand beats me to the ticket, seems unjust. But I appreciate the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that I think it’s particularly good that a worse hand beats me to the ticket, seems unjust. But I appreciate the reply I do agree that hand strength would be less confusing than it being random, which is also why we've explained this aspect in the tournament description of the flips, where relevant. It's unfortunately not an easy change, so there're no plans to change it for the time being. Check the latest poker release notes. Have a look at our poker promotions.
