(2) you'll actually make more flushes with the off suited hand

Do you think this is true or not?

I decided to run this theory through Mike Caro's Poker Probe, a simulation program. I ran the test 3 times in order to create an average using the following conditions:

- Hold'em is the game
- 3 players
- Player 1 is always dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
- Players 2 & 3 receive random cards
- 1,000,000 hands dealt

This resulted in Player 1 making a flush an average of 19,587 times in those 1,000,000 dealt hands.

I then re-ran the simulation making only one change:

- A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] became A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

This resulted in Player 1 making a flush an average of 65,749 times in those 1,000,000 dealt hands.

Let's review:

Unsuited starting cards making flushes - 19,587 times in 1,000,000 hands (averaged)
Suited starting cards making flushes - 65,749 times in 1,000,000 hands (averaged)

Final Result: I want this mook of a reviewer to play in my home game. Anyone have his phone number?

Did you really need this to tell you that suited cards make you more flushes?
