Re: runner runner
Both of those terms you describe are greek to me.
Runner, runner means the turn and the river cards both helped you win the hand and without both of the those cards, you wouldn't have won the hand.
For the numbers, the most likely runner-runner is making a flush which is slightly less than 4% and the most unlikely runner-runner is two exact cards, like turning a pair on the flop into quads, which is in the neighborhood of 0.04%.
The term can also be used like "he needs running cards to win" which usually comes about when there is an all-in on the flop. When you hear people complain about their luck they could say "the guy hit a running straight (or runner-runner) to knock me out" and from that you can tell he took a very bad beat.
