Loads and loads of posts lately in A51 & BBV, where people are astounded at the way they lose hands.
It seems that people find it hard to deal with how a hand is dealt after all the money goes in.
For example, if AK goes all in and is called by 55, the board could run out A K T 6 5, and there will be a post from someone cursing their luck etc.
Maybe if everytime an all in situation arises, rather than deal the cards out, it could be settled by the use of a virtual, un-rigged roulette wheel.
The respective equities are shown on screen for each player, in the above example, 1 player would have approc 52%, the other 48%
The roulette wheel would contain 100 numbers 1-100 (obv).
The guy with pocket 5s, his avatar would turn black. As would the numbers 1-52.
The guy with AK's avatar would turn red. As would numbers 53-100.
The wheel would then spin, and land randomly on red or black, and the chips would move over to the winner.
How would people of A51 feel about this?
If this was a real option on the site, would you chose to use it?

obv the roulette wheel could be rigged for action too, cop on dohhh. The ball would stay in black spots for entire spin only to fall in to red at last moment
Im am all for this option but only if the wheel is spun by a live chimp wearing a hat and smoking a cigar
Probability of that happening? Er zero per cent me thinks . . .
The presenter or guest analyst could then flip a COIN and announce who was the winner of that hand.
IMO this and this only would be fairest way to settle a hand.
