Yep short deck. Only played it once, kind of interesting.

I seem to specialize more in short stack poker.

This is exactly what happens when you don’t know what you are playing) I also once mistakenly went to play Omaha! That was the shock

Yup, it happened to me also suprisingly I did kind of well, even when I didn't know what I'm doing

To me this looks like a "Short Deck" Game. In Short Deck there is no 2,3,4, or 5 so you are playing with 16 fewer cards and the Ace is played High or Low so becomes the 5 Likewise that would also explain why a "Flush" beat a "full house".
In Short Deck Poker a Flush does beat a full house If Pokerstars have introduced Short Deck Poker you have to be careful for what game you are actually buying into, I registered for a game once and did not realise I was buying into a "Omaha" game, when I was dealt 4 cards on the first hand I was confused, as I had never played Omaha before, I obviously lost, but I became interested in the format and played more games after I had studied the rules more and actually prefer Omaha now to Holdem.
In the main Lobby games can change fast and when you try to register for a specific game it disappears when full, and another game changes to that position in the list, so be very careful when registering for popular games as they can change fast.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Thanks for the details on what short deck means. I had no idea, but keep learning! I tried Omaha by mistake once too, so I find it interesting that you now prefer it. I'll have to take a look at it closer one day. Thanks for that!

So, I was playing micro millions tournament and was 2 hours in with 200k stacks. I saw someone lose with full house to flush all ins. Unfortunately, I forgot to screenshot that hand as it went by quickly. But a couple of hands later, I lost with 2 Aces to 2 eight after river. I have the screenshot and it says straight from ace to nine like what?? Am I tripping or is it legit? I also contacted their customer service and they just said that full house is higher than flush and ignored the screenshot.

I don't know how to post image here. Here is the screenshot link to ace and pocket eight hand: https://prnt.sc/1dl29xe

since the ace counts both high and low in 6+ holdem villain makes a straight since the ace is consider a 5 in this hand.

in another poker room recently I had to lose poker of J vs Q10 spades achieving the rival royal flush, and the next day I had to see the same situation in another room

I don't play short deck, so that isn't the issue. Was playing Betonline and swear I had the winning hand once and they gave the win to a lesser hand. When you're all in after the flop and the turn and river show pretty fast and the chips are given to the winner, you don't have time to screen shot or much else for that matter. I just took the hosing and moved on. Was not to happy though.

Lol, this is funny. In 6+ flush beats fh. It makes a lot of logic if you calculate the chances.

Looks like there's more than one in this thread who isn't playing with a full deck

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Those sites are not trustworthy.

There are a couple of flushes that beat full house.
