Do you think this is true or not?

Phil Hellmuth said it was true at one point, so it MUST be true!

This is the kind of logic that says T5o is the most powerful hand in poker. You have the potential to make any straight and 2 shots at a flush.

Right. Thanks for workin' that out for us, I guess.

There was never a question of whether the mook reviewer was right but rather to what degree he was wrong.

Thanks for catchin' that obvious point, I guess.

I decided to run this theory through Mike Caro's Poker Probe, a simulation program. I ran the test 3 times in order to create an average using the following conditions:

- Hold'em is the game
- 3 players
- Player 1 is always dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
- Players 2 & 3 receive random cards
- 1,000,000 hands dealt

This resulted in Player 1 making a flush an average of 19,587 times in those 1,000,000 dealt hands.

I then re-ran the simulation making only one change:

- A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] became A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

This resulted in Player 1 making a flush an average of 65,749 times in those 1,000,000 dealt hands.

Let's review:

Unsuited starting cards making flushes - 19,587 times in 1,000,000 hands (averaged)
Suited starting cards making flushes - 65,749 times in 1,000,000 hands (averaged)

Final Result: I want this mook of a reviewer to play in my home game. Anyone have his phone number?

Did you really need this to tell you that suited cards make you more flushes?

[DiggerDog]

No. I did, however, think it would be interesting to see just how far off that idiotic comment was.

You, being a poker genius and all, probably did all that math in your head. Clearly you were too busy calculating those numbers to see that I had already addressed that question in the post immediately preceeding yours.

Here's your sign.
