    I'm sure that even Stephen Hawking has bad days when none of his theories prove correct.
    Of course, the benefit of his theories is that very few people can understand them and generally they're impossible to prove one way or the other.

    All it proves is that MereNovice always gets paid as he did on his original experiment too! Im thinking of changing my avatar to a donkey!

    My findings are...

    number of players/positions x stack size + best hand pre flop - pant colour x ISP =


    Vince is DEFO  a LUCKBOX!

    When I had to leave work to get to SPT Luton I asked my boss if I could leave an hour early since I have to be in Luton for a poker tournament.  He just looked at me and said leave whenever I wanted to.  That was at 11am... so I did. :-)

    One word..................... dispensable ;)

    Is the 5 placings anything to do with order of registration - from last onwards.  LML has been 1st / 2nd to register in all, then 5th / 6th in placings.  In the one game I played, I registered 3rd and was placed 4th which would work in the backwards way.  That's my only theory so far.

    I would say I was pretty much always 2nd to register in each of them so that doesn't work with my 5,3,2,4 placings.

    I'm really glad that you brought this up Dan. I feel that it's very important. The people who get their money in last get paid. This just goes to show that it's not always best to get your money in first.   :-) For details of the remarkable scientific endeavour used to prove this see here . Note: I have edited this post because I was 100% wrong in my intial post!

    DYM Experiment Results
    (Brought to you courtesy of Professor Eyyshud Gettout Moore)

    After long and exhaustive examination of the all the experiments that have taken place (15 minutes can be a very long time in some places i've been I can assure you), I have arrived at the following conclusions:
    1) The winner of the hand is ALWAYS the winner!
    2) Because nobody else then has any chips left the program decides that it doesn't matter who comes next but someone must get paid, therefore it picks a random player to come second and the NEXT PLAYER on the table to come third (not including the winner)
    3) Fourth, fifth and sixth DO NOT MATTER and so are randomly placed
    4) In the case of Lisa Marie, she cannot be selected as a random money winner! LM would have to WIN THE HAND to profit from this senario! This MUST be something to do with her PTP account and nothing to do with her poker ability (although there is no proof of this so far!)

    In conclusion, the winners of 2nd and 3rd place are entirely random, although, 3rd is chosen directly from the position of the 2nd! This is not entirely satisfactory in my opinion and should be looked at with the utmost urgency as it could undermine the very fabric of the space time continuum!!!

    .....or am I just talking from the wrong orifice again.....! sigh!

    It's not a glitch, it's hard coded.

    This still puzzles me.

    Sky_Adam, James H., Tikay, does anyone know the answer?

    We ran various experiments but never came to a conclusion.

    I read the thread on Bounty Hunter split bounties and the fascinating discussion between James and Charles on who wins the extra chip.  It reminded me of this.

    Then again threads from 8 months ago seemed less moany-woany. 

    Oh, there I go moaning on the forum.

    Sorry, Aaron, but I don't have the faintest idea.

    Trust me, if 5 others went all-in, I'd be folding PDQ. Assuming 1 players busts the other 4, that'd be a nice result for me. ;)  

    By the way, seeing as DYM's have been mentioned here......

    I believe that very soon, within the month I think, all DYM's will automatically "finish" as soon as they are down to 3 players. More details when I get them.
