So, I figured I'd try my hand on Gala Giveaways, I've been a member for a while, won a few games, created a few giveaways, (mainly Desura spit titles), and saw a game I would like, it's a Poker Giveaway. So I enter, as due to the games I've put up, and the nature of the website, I got all the points that people spent on trying to win them added to my "Giveaway Points", one of them was, like, 12 million, so I have a while until I run out.
Anyway, the Poker Giveaway, I entered, got nothing worth keeping in a 4 - 5 card changes (if I have a pair or less, I stop at the 4th card change. Why spend an extra X amount of points if the best you're gonna get is 3 of a kind?. So I left the giveaway, entered, got nothing, left, entered....well, you get the idea. After a decent amount of points spent by me, I finally get 4 of a kind Jacks, pretty good hand, right? I still got beat.

Now, I know that 4 of a kind Jacks isn't the much desired Royal Flush, but you still gotta be pretty damn lucky to beat that hand.....So, I call shenanigans on that site...SHENANIGANS!!!

To win a Poker giveaway there you have to make minimum a Full House on giveaway that require lots of points, and minimum Four of a Kind for the one that require low amount of points each time. It's because there are too many ppl, and winning with something lower is difficult, ppl can play until they're out of points. Poker giveaways are the worst there.

Well, 99% (well, maybe not that high statistically), of my Full House hands lose, too. I think I've won once with a Full House.
I've spent 5,987,420 points and won 7 games so, even though it's a much, much, much smaller, (and reviled, it would seem), site the odds of winning are still very low, unless you got a Royal Flush on a Poker Giveaway or get a x10 entry on a giveaway with a ridiculously high point entry fee

If you're talking about the "31337" -> it's because of your SG+ addon and you will find it on every thread you enter through the forum's main pages.

Don't enter poker GA's. Some people literally do spend hundreds of thousands/millions of points until they get a top poker hand if they want to claim the game.
