A request for this forum...

[BeerMoney]

Can people ask legitimate probability questions??

Questions like "What are the chances 2 of my opponents both have pocket aces when I have kings on 2 consecutive hands??" really don't have much value. You and I both know the answer though... Its about 1 in a zillion. Move on.

Bruce, it may help if you had a FAQ's for this forum that explains/answers some of the common questions..

1.) What is the prob. of hitting a flush?
2.) What is the difference between probability and odds??
3.) Perhaps an example of how to calculate some common probabilities.
4.) The [censored] monty hall problem.
5.) A link to twodimes.net

I really love probability, and I like hearing how Bruce and Aaron Brown think about the problems they solve, so this forum is important to me.

just a suggestion for a way to clean up this forum a little.

People obviously use this probability forum to recover from tilt mode.

Every day I read this imbecile questions and I honestly hope that those people do not really expect an answer, let alone that it would help in any way to improve future decisions.

So, I just don't care. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I get the same results with RocketManJames' formula as I do with mine, not his answer. (that is, you're good if your opponent has PP greater than yours < 70%)
