ok cant believe this guy does not believe me when i tell him this was not a race, basically i am chip lead and guy shoves with about 500 i make instant call with jq, he shows j10 suited the guy hits his flush and wins the pot, i am then told that this was nothing more than a race!!!!

bloke called sullivan1 says because his cards were suitedit was a 50/50 race, i told him numerous times that i was 65% fav but he insists it was a race!! told him i would put it in the forum for people to explain to him, i tried everything but because its suited it makes a massive difference in his eyes

    Yes, he was.

    He means that the difference between identical hands if suited or unsuited is about 2%. Slightly less in fact. So A-K suited is just under 2% better than A-K off. That's one-fiftieth better.
     

    Your hand was a standard 70-30 coup.

    We all understood you except Webby. He was looking for an argument so he deliberatly misinterpreted what you said!

    Hope this Webbys.

    sorry mick my mistake thought you meant 51%-49% lol

    clearly some people on here think they're gonna be the next Einstein or somet!!

    pod why wouldn't i name him? i said i would post it on here so people can explain to him because he reckoned he knew all the odds

    GET OFF MY CASE!!!!

    just thought you being proved right would be more important than him being proved wrong infront of the community. had his name not been mentioned you still would have been proved right, naming him has just put him down. not "on your case" webby i dont know you or responded to any of your posts in the past just thought it would have been diplomatic of you to leave his name out, coz if it was me and it was a conversation around a table which then was put out into the forum , i dont think i would be too chuffed.
