    May I point something out.. A great debate seems to have gotten underway on if a straight coinflop, will produce as many heads, as tails over a extended period of time. As it is refering to a 'coin flip' in poker.. Well, their is no such thing as a coin flip in poker. Pocket Pair vs. 2 unsuited over cards in poker.. Pocket pair is favourite to win, 54.45% of the time. Pocket pair vs. 2 suited over cards.. Pocket pair is favourite 52.27% In theory the pocket pair should win more times over 100 deals than the over cards. So therefor mathmatically their is no such thing as a coin toss in poker, or the oppurtunity for the cards to even out over time. Which kind of makes this great heads/tails debate really quite irrelevant when it comes to this thread.

    AhKh v 2d2c is 50/50 to within less than a tenth of a percent.
    I think even pedants like me would be prepared to call that a "coin flip".

    Yes.....nice debate and very interesting reading and contributions made. 

    Thank you to Aussie & Vince for their outstanding contributions.

    I apologize in my lack of factual stuff and my feeble attempt to inject a small bit of humour into the thread.

    My excuse is that I am basically as thick as two short planks!!!

    ?....How thick is two short planks BTW?.......NO!......lets not go there.

    Humour is (almost) always a welcome addition to any debate, imo.

    Anyway, tomorrow's great debate will be "the Greek economic crisis and its impact on the 2p/4p tables".
    Book a seat early to avoid disappointment.

    It's crippled my ability to play as most of my investments are tied up in the Greek crockery market (a once lucrative and shrewd move if i do say so myself). People are just not throwing things around as they used to

     The demise of plate smashing is not down to the Greek economy but those bureaucrats in health and safety! LOL
