Good question — the leaderboard is legit! Here's what's happening: there's no login system, so each player's progress (and their spot on the leaderboard) is tied to their browser's local storage rather than an account. A private/incognito tab starts with completely empty storage, so the game treats you as a brand-new player there, starting over from $0 — that's why you don't see yourself on the leaderboard in that tab, even though your real progress is safe in your normal tab. Nothing to worry about, just how browser-based saves work without a login system!
But in theory, a 'new' incognito session would still populate the leaderboard with the same information as everyone else gets, correct? So if the OP is showing up on the leaderboard while logged in, because they're showing up on everyone's leaderboard on account of their score, they should still show while playing in the new incognito session?
Are the leaderboards legit? When I play the game, I am on the leaderboard, but when I open the game in a private tab again, it doesn't list me on the leaderboard. 🤔
The poker screen just auto holds any cards above 10 and doesn't let me choose. It's going to be almost impossible to get a straight flush that isn't a royal flush because of that and a royal flush is harder to achive.

Ok, I was slightly off.. it seems like if there's no pairs it holds your two highest cards.
