Logs attached.

I had a straight and Hasty-Rocket, who I was covering, won money from a "side pot" with two-pair. In the logs, it says "2.4k Returned to Hasty-Rocket," which should not happen because I had them covered.

Edit: Fixed some details.

Whenever I had a pair of cards, I’m noticing at least two others with other pairs very frequently.

The card distribution and the flops feel like manipulated to make the wrong bet most of the times with some insane odds happening. Like when you have straight someone else having a flush. Sometimes the app really rage baits me :-)

sometimes these things are fairly straightforward and then theres ones like this that make absolutely no sense to me

i dont really know how to explain my problem here but ill try

sometimes its obvious even for hard and very hard and you pick the best cards that are showing and still get it right so you think ok people are doing these perfectly in 0:33 so they must just want me to pick the best cards that are showing

and then sometimes you try to employ that exact same logic and fail miserably

ive even entered about a weeks worth of these into gpt and it all but promises it has what they want figured out every time, and every time its wrong and acts like oh see what they actually wanted for this one was blah blah blah and heres why you suck

so i guess im asking how we are meant to understand these if they dont always want the same thing and it isnt clear when they want what??

if what im asking makes any sense and you actually know, please enlighten me.

thanks

EDIT:

thank you everyone who replied, i think i get it a little better now.

EDIT 2:

i also forgot to ask in my op if we are meant to consider things like the fact that three 5s are already burnt in player hands so it is far more unlikely another 5 will appear as the last two cards when considering odds for these challenges??

thx

As seen in the picture above; the bottom of the screen is cut off and does not show the store, profile, or lobby buttons.

For context I am not playing on the official Reddit app, and my phone is a Motorola edge 5g. I have only experienced this issue on the social poker subreddit after clicking the 'Social  Poker - Texas Hold'em' posts.

I am not sure why this happens, perhaps it has something to do with the banner text at the top. My 'solution' is too zoom in and then scroll down and then zoom out while making sure not to scroll up. It's not a huge issue but it could be a small quality of life fix. I'm curious if other players experience this on mobile. When I first began playing I didn't even realize I had a access to my profile and the store.

Every so often, I’ll play a hand and it looks like all remaining players are out of the hand - but action will pass to me, and I don’t know who is still in the hand with me.

In addition, on this particular hand - the river card appeared… but I couldn’t see it (lol). I could only read it from my hand strength meter, which said I had a pair - so I bet, then turned out river was a 2 (was hoping it was a J on the board haha).

i feel like i actually learned a little something from the last one of these i posted, and im hoping the same thing happens with this one and that maybe someone else with similar questions might find the replies helpful as well.

ok so for image 1:

are they saying the odds of the next two cards being diamonds and making the first hand a flush are 47%, or are they saying the odds of a flush (or this flush?) winning in this situation (or any situation?) are 47%??

and if its just the odds of the next two cards being diamonds, are we meant to consider the fact that there are already a couple diamonds in the other player hands when considering how likely or not it is for the next two cards to be diamonds??

or a better example of the second question is in the first post i made about these challenges where there are already three 5s in the player hands and im wondering if we are meant to consider this fact when calculating the odds that another 5 may or may not appear in the next two cards, even though we would never actually have this information in a real scenario.

so just in general, are we meant to consider the cards we can see in other player hands when trying to figure odds of what the last two cards will be, even though we would never know what other players have anywhere else??

and then for image 2:

i dont get this one at all either, how does 2 8 beat q 5, and by 22% even, when all anyone has is high cards?!?

and then image 3:

basically just the same as image 2..

but first of all, i dont see why a k is overs but a 9 is just high cards, whats the difference??

and then a k doesnt beat q 5 before the last two cards come out because q 5 already has two pairs, and a k still doesnt beat q 5 after the last two cards come out because q 5 still has two pairs and a k is still just overs.

even though its only a 2% difference, im still not seeing it.

there are only six cards that will allow for a k to ever beat q 5 that already has two pairs, and one of those six cards is already in another player hand..

so now the a k hand needs two out of only five remaining cards and not just any two either, it needs one of the two remaining aces and one of the three remaining kings, or both remaining aces or two of the three remaining kings (maybe that is any two of the five remaining cards??)..

idk i guess i just cant get my head around the stars aligning perfectly to allow for a k to beat q 5s with two pairs more often than not.

if what im asking above makes sense to you and you know or even think you might know the answer, please feel free to reply.

thanks in advance!!
