i'd flat the jack high flush and shove the q high flush

this is actually very mathematically sound...not sure if you did the math on this but Q-high flush is a fav. over a random flush, J-high is a dog.

thats so wierd cuz when i saw this hand i thought the exact same thing as ae and im def not a math based player

5-,7-,8-,T-,J-, us, K-, A-

you guys sure about that?

[g-p]

not that it matters at all, because the likelihood of him having the certain flush draws is higher with the way he played it

youre probably not a math major, i'm guessing?

[g-p]

lucky guess

[fslexcduck]

think about the handshake problem

edit: i realize i'm being a jerk because it's fun but if this is the way you think about combinations (esp with respect to flushes) it could be very problematic in your off-the-cuff poker analysis while playing

we're saying you are right, that the q high flush would be a much better shove b/c u are a mathematical favorite over a random flush, and that a j high flush is a dog over a random flush (math is fun, for everyone, except my opponents...)--so if we assume he has a flush (and not more) then shoving a q high flush would make a lot more sense than shoving a j-high flush.

as far as likelihood of him having the flushes, it's certainly not random, his range would be more heavily tilted towards him having higher flushes, for obvious reasons. this would make shoving a j-high flush pretty damn bad.

fwiw, the board is paired here, but i'm guessing he'd go for a cr with a house? dunno...
