  1. Assuming jack king off suit (on double double bonus), the below is your expected return based on total bet:

    Holding both jack and king - 45.3284%

    Holding jack only - 43.2478%

    Holding king only - 41.6433%

    In the long run you will always get more money back from holding both cards

    One week later i had my money, so in total over two weeks in total to get my money. They also had a strange withdrawel, some of the money showed like a cash back on my account (the deposit) and the remaining like a normal withdrawel. 

    I actually noticed this as well, I did some investigation and it appears that you get your deposits back using the same exchange rate used to originally deposit. However, anything above this amount uses a slightly lower exchange rate which I do find a bit dodgy, especially as they only ever allow you to convert your local currency into US Dollars without the option to instead use your local currency.

    I withdrew $200 in total.

    Credit back was for £41.34 (this is the amount i'd deposited), this was based on $52.83. This equates to an exchange rate of £0.792 to $1.

    The remainder was sent as £115.11, this was based on the remaining $147.17 of the $200 total. This equates to an exchange rate of £0.782 to $1.

     

    The difference is minimal but it shouldn't really exist in the first place. I don't doubt the legitimacy of Pokerstars and their intentions, they are a great business, but I do find this practice a bit shady. I'll also add that my withdrawals have never taken more than 24 hours (playing at Pokerstars UK).
