How can this happen? (888 software bug?)

[Bacon]

BJ, was the dealer dead?

[bennymacca]

no, i was in mid pos

actually, i just got moved to the table - it could have been right if 3 other people also got moved to the table and they were all dead but i wasn't.

unusual in a mtt, but could have happened

Here's one, just happened now....


Dealer >> (Hand# 225890796) mikki333 won $960, didn't show hand



yes he did, showed KQ just before next hand started.

888 did buy Pacific's software. Over in EU, they're as big, and competitive, as Tilt/Stars as Europe. But they don't have the rights to use that software here... or something. This is what I've been told.

So what happens in cash games say, where there are European players at the same table as me (or an MTT)?
Shouldnt it be the server side software that makes theses decisions, in which case the 888 software we run is just the client side which only displays commands received from the server....
And shouldnt that server software be the same for all players? I mean how can we play at the same table if we're not going through the same server?

[bennymacca]

yeah wouldnt it just be a skin, with the back end software the same?

is it really different software?
