Default Not enough info

I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on the thread over there, just out of curiosity. The email seems to authentic/elaborate to be a fake, but the admission is so crazy, it is hard to believe this could be the case.

Has anyone posted the hand histories of the 2 hands?

Yeah, the hands were posted in the original thread over there. They were absolutely identical. I was thinking of putting some money into Mansion in hopes of getting onto the PokerDome Challenge. I haven't yet and think I'll hold off a bit now. I've also heard that cashing out there is a bit of a pain but that's just a few extra hoops to jump through. No biggie there. But if their card generator is cranking out identical hands within minutes of each other...

Default The thread

Assuming TP doesn't mind the link ...



Hand history is included. Thread has interesting back and forth -- the posters have a low post count, which is suspicious, and the hand histories have slightly different formats, which is discussed. But I don't see a motive for it all being a hoax, and if so, it sure is an elaborate one. If they posters are just looking for attention, I'd imagine they'd make this claim about a larger site.

I don't mind links to sites like 2+2. It's not like no one knows it's there, and this certainly isn't SPAM trying to get new users, ya know?

My question: Is it possible for anyone to reuest these HHs from Mansion, like anyone could from Stars, Party, etc? Or are they one of the sites that annoyingly don't alow that sort of thing?

What's really scary is that on 1 hand, there is an open seat, and the other, there isn't. That would mean that the entire hand had been generated, not card by card, before being dealt.

I re-state, is a random hand generator not suppose to randomly assign a hand card-by-card, and not hand-by-hand?

I don't know about you guys, but I don't see how Mansion's generator would pass an audit with this scheme.
