Probably a good job I dont play much video poker (we dont have it here )
My post was made purely on the basis I could have sworn Id had the same discards back frequently and usually cursed the machine

Id question the 35,000/36,000 to 1 odds on a royal though.
Doing the math (yes I did stats) looks like approx 32,500 to 1 "without replacement"
Would have been 35.5k if the discards went back in.

I will stick to roulette. Gene will stick to video poker
