Overheard at Hollywood Park...
Apparently spoken in all seriousness at a NL game, where TT was all in preflop against KK.
"I can't believe my bad luck, that's a 440:1 shot." (... to my bewildered look) "You have to do the math. Any pocket pair has 220:1 odds, so someone else having a better pocket pair is another 220:1, for 440:1 total." I nodded and immediately agreed. That is indeed terrible luck....

Re: Overheard at Hollywood Park...
The crazy thing is how often I have aces and yet someone else has a better pocket pair. Seems way more often than the 440:1 that the math indicates.

If it makes you feel better...
I had a guy a couple of weeks ago tell me that flopped top set is a dog to a straight/flush draw(not even a straight flush draw). I disagreed with him reflexively once, then began agreeing as soon as it dawned on me that he was serious.

I'm always amazed at how wrong I realize someone who used to sound right really is. The better I get the funnier it gets.
