Great work on this subject Rammer. You always do some hard work and research on these hard to awnser Subjects and I appreciate it. By the way did you get a Pacific poker bonus yet! Or were you already a member. I'm still trying to win more so I can cash out more money and use it on another web site!

Basically, it all depends upon which way you approach the problem. While I completely understand the multiplication of statistical probabilities to determine consecutive outcomes, I saw it as an unnessisary complication of the question at hand. The devil is always in the details. Thanks for researching the question and finding the answer, and although I have done it ia PM, I will also say publicly, if I offended members by posts in the other thread, especially you, RJ, I apologize. Some of you guys were politely in disagreement, others not so much. In the end were all here for the advancement of the game and to combine talents to help one another get a leg up in the poker world. Lets get back to the business of making money.

A long and rancorous debate has broken out on another thread concerning poker probabilities. (And probabilities in general.) After chastising for not doing their homework those in disagreement with what I knew to be a standard mathematical equation for determining the odds of succession, I decided to practice what I preach. I looked it up. Given that it's good stuff for everyone, I decided to post it here in a new thread instead of 4 pages deep on the old one.
Surprise! We're ALL right! As I repeatedly asserted in the original thread, it completely depends on how you approach the question. It's as much a matter of perspective as pure math. Read on.
