You are less likely to flop a flush draw than an OESD. If you want to see the math I'll break it down.Quote:

Thanks all, for clearing up a muddled mind!

And the best partQuote:
On the contrary, I played a freeroll today in a field of 200 players, came out in 6th place (intentionally again, as one player was continually disconnected for 2-3 mins every single hand at the final table, so i went out with a bang and took the $5). I was the chip leader (my stack was three times the size of the 2nd place stack) the entire time of the tournament until I got to the final table.
Proof of these statements can be verified if you want. I can simply request a hand history, load the data from pokeroffice, or show screenshots if the truth of my claim is challenged.
So... I must be doing something right in order to be such a superior and dominant player.
To quote one of my opponents: "You should be out of this tournament by now. You are so lucky."
I knocked out 40-50 of the players in the tournament in situations where I was significantly dominated (by Sklansky's system that is).

The underlying philosophy of my post is what guided me so successfully in this tournament. True, I make clever bluffs, intuitive reads, and testicle-requiring calls - so skill and experience definitely gives me an advantage over most players. However, I repeat... my fundamental theory is what makes my poker game what it is. (and that is a winning game)
Getting ITM "intentionally" +$5
Making a "testicle-requiring" allin call with 83o and cracking aces because you were getting the correct "luck odds" - PRICELESS

I didn't read the entire post because I fear my head might explode. I didn't read most of the replies either, because I'm lazy.
Here's your dollar, you earned it!

I too am a believer in God, and have just said a loooooooong Prayer for this lost, "POOR" soul.
BAHAHAHAH!
QQ vs AK
QQ 12 * 12 = 144
AK 14 * 13 = 182
Clearly AK is superior to QQ.
AK is also superior to KK by that logic. So you shouldn't rely on pairs, you should rely on AK! Except for AA, which is superior to AK, but only by 14 points. Marginal at best. Sell the farm for AK! All hail AK! 2nd best hand in hold 'em!
But wait! There is less distance between KK, and QQ than there is AK. They must be more harmonius than AK! Yet your writings decry AK to be more powerful! Woe is ME, what shall I do?! Please instruct me as to how to proceed against the faults in your own logic, oh great one!
What about Suitedness? 54 off is the exact same as 54s? Why does my brain hurt? It must have something to do with the Fibonacci sequence.
Please RE-post!

WOW. i thought that was deep before he blew my mind with the next bit:

And he even claims "i am no math genius"- so wise and yet so humble.
By the way, ragnar he said that he hasn't yet expanded his theory to include suited cards and pocket pairs. I can't wait. I hope he backs it up with another "real life example" where him and his brother play out a hand for a dollar. That will prove everything
Well Duh.Quote:

i was going to ask you for the dollar for making me read that. I do agree though king 7 is the most synchronous hand probably ever, at least since they stopped making jokers wild.Quote:

Straights are also easier to hit in Holdem. With 2 of a suit, you are 7% to hit a flush with 5 cards remaining. With 2 connected cards, 9% to hit a straight. Of course the odds are you won't be drawing to those inside straights , while there's no such thing as an inside flush. And many straight draws are tossed when 3 of a suit hit the board, not so their counterparts who won't be scared off when 3 connected cards hit. So chances are more flushes actually make in practice, while in theory (everone seening all 7 cards) there should be more straights.
LMAO this made the milk come out of my nose XD
please sticky this or add a humor section this is brilliant (i wont donate though :P)
is this like the overcards>pp becasue they have 6 outs?
y did ur brother call wiv J4os??? fuk all the other bullshit i wanna kno the answer to that
YoungDro, I want some of whatever mind-altering moon-bouncing hallucinogens you are on.
that was five minutes of my life i'll never have back. simply stunning.
LOL @ marginal edge AA vs AK
someone needs to teach me reverse luck odds. That way i will know when the donkey across the table is gona get lucky and i can just fold my aces and kings preflop
You need to realise that AA and KK only have 2 outs, whereas most hands have 6 outs. These three times the luck odds. I dont know how you can win without getting this basic maths.Quote:
