Hi Guys long time reader short time poster. A strange thing has been happening to me online this week whilst playing PLO on stars.The pointer on my computer would blink or flash 2 or 3 times as the blinds are being posted. The first time it happened I noticed if I stayed in the hand till showdown I would of won the hand. The next time my pointer blinked which was about 40min later I stayed in the hand until showdown and I won it. This happened around 6 times in the last couple of days and each time I won the hand. So I am starting to think if this is happening to me it must be happening to others and maybe some hands are predetermined as to the outcome.What are your thoughts?

Please tell me this is just a level. Pokers not rigged, theres no way to determine the outcome of a hand before it's done, the blinking is just a coincidence. Mind you, you and your "blinking cursor" are welcome to come sit at my table any time you want

I have seen ppl claim/do lot of weird things like changing seat at table because some are lucky, raising some hand numbers like 5th, 9th, 16th; changing avatars but this one is the funniest thing i heard

Spoke with PK support and they did tell hands,flop..etc are predetermined before they are dealt. I guess that sounds normal.

They must be coincidences, it would be way to nice to see when you can win a hand before the other cards are dealt...
Not sure though why your arrow was doing that, it can be because you have a custom software installed to show various animations when clicking a button maybe
Keep playing and let us know if this happens again, you could turn your pc in a gold mine
