- straight vs. 2 high pair on turn
I usually stick to 1/2 and 2/4, but today I decided to try $5/10 for a change. I was already down big from two nut flush draws that didn't hit, and got AJ. I raised pre-flop with 3 callers. flop came AKJ. Two guys before me checked, I bet. The guy after me called, and one guy before me called, the other...
- Quick odds question
Let's say that you're holding 89 of spades, and the flop is 4 of diamonds, 6 of spades, and 7 of spades. Somebody else goes in holding A 4. You have 6 outs for an 8 or 9, 9 outs for a flush, and 6 outs for a straight (one each of the 5 and 10 are of spades). This makes 21 outs. Using the outs rule (X...
- pair & backdoor draw
Here's a situation I often find myself in:
I have 8s, 9s. The flop comes Td, 8h, 2s. So I have 2nd pair, and back door draws to a straight and a flush.
In this situation I usually see the turn, and if a 7,8,9, J or spade comes, I see the river.
What usually happens is, I hit a card that gives...

- drawing hands: a probability question
i've heard that the probability of hiting a flush draw is roughly 35%, and so if pot odds are atleast 3:1, you should go for it. But there seems to be a problem with this reasoning. If I draw one card and miss, the chance that I will hit my flush on the river is about 6:1, so I would need at least those...

Hi,
I read in Lee Jones book that once you've flopped four to a flush, you are a 1.9:1 dog to make it by the river and if you flop an open end straight flush draw, you are a 1.2:1 favourite to make a straight or better by the river.
I don't understand how these calculations are made.
