    i think phil gordon is wrong flush draw and straight draw… flush draw you have exactly 39.2% and straight draw 34.8% gordon is off by about 4% each time

  3. baziko says:

    they are actually slightly off …that’s why he says about before the percent

  4. ojideagu says:

    A flush is better, But Straights actually make you a lot more money then Flushes because they are better hidden.

    The hell i just put what i know down so other people can understand it. The hell did i do wrong?

  6. RavishingBeyond says:

    so i guess a “fag. flush” is a lot worse than a “straight. flush”, bro?

  7. namenotused07 says:

    you dont need math to know that fag. flush is better than a straight on the ladder. epso facto, its harder to hit. queer

    key words. “every now and then”

    i think some of their percentage are wrong..

  12. foxhound1976 says:

    Percentage depends on how many players are on table, and how many is playing hand.

  13. shardel23 says:

    2-3 also has 40% chance of flopping a pair of better, but when flopping a pair with A-K you got a strong hand, though when flopping a pair with 2-3, its still considered as a weak hand

  14. jaallee92 says:

    they probably mean winning on highcard, flush etc

  15. 1991tushar says:

    i would consider an pair of aces or kings as an out but not a pair of 2’s as a out or 3’s

    u get it what i mean to say

  16. run2home93 says:

    Thought flopping a set was 1 in 8…

  17. oneputtsteven says:

    I am with you I can’t think of any reason why it would be different. To that is why playing low or middle connectors every now and then especially from the blinds makes sense. With a 2-3 you have the exact same odds of flopping a pair, a set, or FH as A-K and your opponent will rarely put you on those cards.

    why with A-K you have a 40% chance of flopping a pair of better? I mean, there are 4 of every card so why shouldn’t a 2-3 have the same odds???? Am i mis-understanding something?

  21. sroyle01 says:

    ive just put a comment about that without realising you answerd my question 1 month ago!! thanks for answering my question before i asked it lol

  22. sroyle01 says:

    I wonder why a flush beats a straight if there is more chance to draw a flush than a openended straight draw? before i saw this it was in my mind that chasing a flush was easier than catching a card for a straight

  23. lionxshare says:

    is that math for the open-ended straight draw correct ,i think he’s using the same math for both,gut-shot S8 DRAW and openended?,and why he didn’t include it for the gut-shut,with trips making full-house by the river,with trips making quads by the river ,with open-ended s8 flush and royal flush draw etc,math…
