Feel the pain
Had a few hours to kill before the Angels - Yankees game so logged onto Pacific Poker .
Changed my name to Jeter2 in honor of the great man and I played accordingly. I was making the right moves at the right times and heading to a handy chip lead. Then disaster struck and no not A-Flop. I had 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]-7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and on the flop came another two [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Everyone checked including me - I wanted to take it nice and slow. The turn revealed another [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The guy before me called and I raised. He went all-in and I called him. What did he have J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]-3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] When you get two suited cards in the hole, you don't tend to think that anyone else has as well. Felt my 7 was good to go when it wasn't. Far from it. I tend to be more circumspect when four suited cards lie on the table but with just three I felt I had it. Has this happened to anyone else before as well? After that much like the Yankees, I limped for a bit before I was eliminated.

As I almost did. But it was recent and what the hell.

[/ QUOTE ] I find it really funny that in replying to this awful post, you still didn't even come up with an example where you lost with three to the flush on the board as opposed to four...

Re: Feel the pain
Just what are the odds of another player having two cards of the same suit in the hole?
I so need to hang in the probability forum for...weeks but to my mind, it's 8/45 X7/45 or a 2.76 percent chance that should come to roughly 35 to 1? I'm assuming you have two and there are three of that suit on the board thus potentially leaving 8, then 7 of that suit to chance. If anyone knows the odds better, I'd love to hear it. One might skew the probability a little higher if you know there are people out there who favor Ax or even Kx suited. ;~)
