    Sarah

    If anyone wants more poker terms explained, I created a thread in the Poker Chat section of the forum a few days ago entitled "Poker Terms & Abbreviations" which may be of use to those who are wondering what something means

    Ross, earlier in the show you mentioned having good hand selection. In terms of a percentage, how many hands should a player be playing?

    I know this question is very vague as it depends on a number of factors such as the type of poker, reads on other opponents and stack sizes, but some guidelines would be nice.

    The "Perfect Poker Player"

    How about:

    Stephen Hawking’s brain

    Maggie Thatcher’s handbag

     

    Malala’s courage

    The patience of Job

    Miley Cyrus’s audacity

    Messi’s virtuosity

     

    Bill Gates bankroll

    Walmart’s Value

    The Rolling Stones longevity

    Derren Brown’s mind reading

     

    & GELDY’s je ne sais quoi

     

    Great show – keep it up

    PS POKEY is quite creative hence my call, in position, with the AJs #sighfail

    PPS you may find a number of our lady players use female avatars
    they may not be too amused by your constant reference to them as male
    a little gender awareness may be appreciated

    yes i know many people use the opposite avatar - but they can hardly complain if you get it wrong for them

    52 cards in a pack, you need to hit just 1 of them......

    Think 50/1 sounds closest ;)

    The odds of hitting a one outer with two cards to come are 22.5:1

    In order to know that you need a one outer, you need to know your opponent's hand. So you know the locations of 7 cards, leaving the one outer as one card in 45. On the flop, you're looking at odds of 22.5:1 and on the turn it's odds of 44:1.

    It all depends how many cards are known.

    On far more important matters.

    Sarah, we're still missing you on the cash tables. Are you going to be playing any of the UKOPS tournaments next week as part of the show analysis thingy?

    I know you can't "sell the product" on the show on Sky Sports.... but I need to know which show to Sky+ so I can see your awesome crushing skills (for the giggles).

    :)

    even as a mathematician i thought my post was more fun that the odds debate - and I didn't even get a mention 

    #sighfail forum as well as poker

    Hi Sarah and Ross,
    Regarding odds of hitting a one-outer.  Surely the odds change depending on how many cards are left in the deck. On a six seated table, 12 cards will have been dealt to players and 4 on the table, leaving 36 in the deck.  So the chance of hitting one on the river is 36 to 1.

    Regards,
    Geof Walker (MISTERWIN)

    That's only if you know all of the cards that are out. If you are at the table, the odds are based on how many cards are known to you, which is usually just your hole cards and the three or four community cards.

    I agree that you will never know if you have a one-outer unless you can see all the cards that have been dealt.  This is only likely to happen in a heads-up or multiple all-in scenario.  The fact is mathematically that if you have a one-outer it is not necessary to know any cards.  You have reached a point where you want only one specific card from whatever is left of the deck.  You may or may not know this but it does not alter the odds.
    My head hurts.  Regards, Geof
