Default Re: Poker probability math is incorrect

I found this the best way to get past the counter-intuitiveness of the Monty Hall problem. Every time you pick a wrong door (i.e., 2/3 of the time), the host will reveal the other wrong door, and switching will always reveal the prize. It's only when you've picked the prize door (1/3 of the time) that switching will be wrong.
