Weird!
On another note...
IMHO a straight should beat a flush... in Texas Hold em especially?

which is statistically rarer a straight or a flush??? I've never tried to do the sums but for some reason I feel like straights are rarer, in which case they should beat a flush. I used to wonder why flushes beat straights but theres not much point worrying or arguing about it. Somebody must know the percentages? come on peeps.
It seems like flushes are more prevalent because of donks playing any two suited cards. Straights are more statistically likely, think of how many possible 5 card flushes there can be and how many 5 card straights.Originally Posted by Dan147
Odds of getting a straight are 20.6-1 and odds of a flush are 32.1-1. This is in any game where you make your best 5 card hand from 7 cards.Originally Posted by Dan147
p.s confusingly you're more likely to make two pair or one pair than you are to have just a high card.

This thread has turned quite embarressing for the forum, lol
