delay before your bad beat?

fliddyfish

so again I get the bad beat my aq all in against kq big stack and doing fine till the river when the miracle king comes , but here my point there was a slight pause before revealing the king now is this just me? or is it for dramatic effect ? or was it just a bad connection? just seemed a slight pause before I got the usual bad beat when all going all in , didn't notice it when another poor guy got whacked by runner runner but wasn't pay much attention just seems harsh to have a delay when u get beat ,u know u expect it , just wondering

Sometimes the software struggles to find the card that will beat you. Then of course it has to decide which king to choose...........hearts or diamonds, hearts or diamonds. This will lead to an inevitable delay.

I have heard that this glitch is being worked on though so the miracle card should be dealt a lot faster in future. Sky apologise for any time wasted during this delay.

Don't know if you're familiar with computers or not, but they are quite fast. If the software designers didn't incorporate delays the whole process of 'post all-in dealing/show-down' would be carried out so quickly no one would ever see it.
Are you getting to the bottom of your stupid question barrel?

Don't get it all-in pre-flop. If you keep just 1 chip behind then this never happens as the game plays out normally (it doesn't trigger the 'all-in' algorithm). There will be sceptics of course, but don't listen to them. 

Next time you have AQ v KQ, try it and I guarantee you'll win about 74% of the time.
