Re: Why does a flush beat a straight?
[ QUOTE ]
The probability of dealing five cards and making a flush is .0019807 and the probability of dealing five cards and making a straight of .000085367.

This can't be right. Without doing any actual math, the odds of making a straight with just 5 cards must be higher than this. The probability given here is less than 1 in 10,000, which would mean you'd flop a straight like once every 300 hours of live play.
