On Monday I blogged mostly about my cash session, and provided a hand history where a reg spazzed out. Somehow, I forgot to mention the most epic hand from that session, in which I ended up misclick folding postflop in a just awful spot, but in doing so ended up saving myself a stack and what would have most definitely been MEGA-TILT. On the down side, I also cost myself a PTR bad beat badge!
The hand is below. The CO in the hand is a 100/80 maniac whale, while the BTN is a mediocre at best reg who on the flop is definitely going be raising a wide range to try to isolate and get overpairs/draws etc. in against the whale. I unfortunately mislick fold, bink theoretical quads, then whale one outs the straight flush.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (8 handed)
Hero (UTG+1) ($100)
MP1 ($100)
MP2 ($50)
CO ($86)
Button ($100)
SB ($100)
BB ($100)
UTG ($100.50)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 2♦, 2♠
1 fold, Hero bets $3, 2 folds, CO calls $3, Button calls $3, 2 folds
Flop: ($10.50) 6♦, 4♣, 2♣ (3 players)
Hero bets $7.50, CO calls $7.50, Button raises to $28, Hero folds, CO raises to $83 (All-In), Button calls $55
Turn: ($184) 2♥ (2 players, 1 all-in)
River: ($184) 5♣ (2 players, 1 all-in)
Total pot: $184 | Rake: $3
Results:
Button had 8♣, 8♠ (two pair, eights and twos).
CO had 3♣, A♣ (straight flush, five high).
Outcome: CO won $181
It's worth mentioning that this is my first major postflop misclick in ages, (on Stars, I had a couple on FTP when getting used to table ninja, including calling a river with 9 high and winning in a limped BvB pot) and something that isn't typically a problem for me.

those darn misclicks!! This time misclick was +ev. I misclick 3b a few times....i'm not sure if i'm up or down on those since I don't give up very often once i misclick. lol
Since you said "theoretical quads" so I'm sure you realize the deck isn't static.. The way a Pokerstars employee once explained it to me is that the wheels are always "spinning" and once an action is taken the next available card in line hits. If you hadn't mis-clicked, the cards would have certainly come out different since a the odds of hitting a one outer twice in a row is rare. (even against you)
The reasoning behind not making the deck set before the hand is dealt is to keep a hacker from knowing what is coming.
Actually, that's entirely untrue. The Pokerstars shuffle functions in the exact opposite way you describe - the flop, turn and river are static once the hand begins the same way a real life deck works. There is no threat of a "hacker" being able to exploit this because the information isn't sent to the client until the card is actually dealt.
Full-Tilt on the other hand does continually reshuffle their deck as the hand takes place, and functions exactly how you describe.
You just got lawyered
I have no idea, that's just what a Pokerstars pro said at a table I was at one time. I believe you though.
Thanks for the info.
