Deck of cards vs a video poker game

[tableplay]

That's NOT my logic. I've studied the holds, practiced with the programs before. Three to the royal has a chance to make 14 hands. A high card with a suited 10 has the possibility of quads with either card-Ive hit 4 10s before.

I've played multi-millions of hands of video poker. I've hit quads the same way you have more than one time. Twice I've hit 3 royals within four hours. I've gone a quarter million hands without a royal. I've hit royals every way you can, including throwing the whole hand away and making a royal. I once made 4 deuces and on the very next hand made 4 deuces again. I've gone 4400 games between quads.

On your hand the probability of making 4 tens on the draw is 1 in 16,215. Same with making 4 aces from it. It will happen to everybody if they play long enough.

Sling, there are some forces going on in your head. Confirmation bias. Negative reinforcement. Selective memory. To name a few.

Well-my final reply to all this. I'm playing artt-5¢-50¢. I lose all three lower demons and on 50¢ I make one of these "delusional" plays and come up with "only" 2 pair or trips. So what? Well, all my previous losses are wiped out, plus I have an extra 5 credits. So what?? Well, I now have more chances to either win or prolong the game to have even more chances. ( works great on free play!). And my selective memory of previous successes causes my denial of "reality".

Great, so I guess you quit your day job and are playing VP for a living.
