Knowing you are rivered before the river is dealt because of your avatar.

Posted here as feedback thread doesn't seem to get a response. 

If you are all in pre with something like AQvAJ and the flop and turn are completely blank, if you look at your avatar and it drops to say you've bust, you know that the river is going to be a Jack. (Hypothetical) I know this makes no difference to the outcome of the hand or game, but knowing you're out and away to get rivered before the river is dealt looks super dodgy.

    tbh dale ive seen it,in rebuy tournies the rebuy option appears before the hand has has finished but i dont know if it appears if you,re gonna win the hand ive only noticed it when ive lost the hand,i just presumed it was linked to the RNG so it auto knew what cards were coming out, no biggie

    don't forget the software knows the cards that have been dealt before they are shown to you.
    showing avatars/rebuys must happen faster than card showing, but in the software it'll all be in the right order for sure

    Does your brain work that fast to notice?   Asking for a friend ;o)

    This is real, it's like a fast-roll. 

    My name drops just a split second before my hopes are dashed. 

    Pain. 

    Although when you cash 32% of tournaments like I do, it's easier to deal with it :8

    i remember doing a thread in Area51 (RIP) a while back with something similar......if you watch the lobby closely it sometimes updates with your exit before the river card is dealt. I was told then it was just a figment of my imagination. The same kind I see some players always win races, whether in front or behind *cough mattbates*.

    It's that simple.

    You'll never make a conspiracy theorist, Gelders. ;)

    I prefer the delay on showing hole cards at showdown when you win :)
