That's why it made no sense to me that the odds of pairing 5 cards should be any different. (And I'm now convinced the odds aren't any different).Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761319722482766069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38020978.post-28168992271444532692007-04-24T21:32:00.000-07:002007-04-24T21:32:00.000-07:00Just out of curiosity: Do you like Hold 'Em any l...Just out of curiosity: Do you like Hold 'Em any less or more? If somebody offered you $1million to quit tomorrow, would you?<BR/><BR/>The way I see it the math on the pair stud v. hold 'em has everything to do with community cards versus an individual's cards. How many players did the author assume were at each table? Here is why that matters. If there are 8 people at a 5 card stud game and everyone sees 5 cards that's 40 cards dealt. In a game of hold 'em if there are 8 players and assuming we see a river then only 21 cards have been dealt. In other words, the chances of the board pairing is greater in hold em because the total number of cards dealt is less than in stud. Or, to put it another way, the author made assumptions about the # of players and total cards dealt that should have been revealed.Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11023724674127358037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38020978.post-36481631186229058592007-04-24T08:33:00.000-07:002007-04-24T08:33:00.000-07:00what a shitty deal. a real pisser.what a shitty deal. a real pisser.Check Raise Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657407499028094164noreply@blogger.com
