Wow really doubletop777? I still think of it as a lottery and i don't fancy me be on the wrong side of variance. You got to be really lucky to be dealt that kind of bad beat.
Cheers hope you did something useful with the money. Also very happy for people winning at least not the hand!
Variance or not, what kind of mitt joint of a card cave deal out jack high straight flush vs. 7777 poker. Online sites dealing more and more hands than brick and mortar casinos, yet this kind of things so rare. It look like they forget to shuffle properly the deck. Even so, before every card dealt on flop they supposed to take one out to prove they dont cheat with shuffle. This is nuts. Variance, crazy variance, this is nuts.
Also very happy for people winning at least not the hand!
