how can a coin flip haev a "best" hand?

[/ QUOTE ]

the op is referring to a situation in poker where the odds are approximately 50/50, or a "coinflip"

[/ QUOTE ]

50/50 means either hand has an approximately 50% chance of winning, quite similar to flipping a coin (50% chance of heads and 50% chance of tails), hence the term "coinflip".

[/ QUOTE ]

If i reach into a bag of ten marbles, and 5 of them are red, and 5 of them are blue, it would be the same chance of picking a red marble, hence the term "coinflip"

I'm gonna need an mspaint pic or some kind of pie chart before I understand this one.
