Doh! Dang it, I could have saved myself the trouble. Well, I suppose that issue is resolved as well. But hey, nice to hear my calculations were correct. Thanks.

This is only accurate postflop, the mistake of being 10% off in your calculation is huge when calculating pot odds. This is good enough when calculating from the flop to the river or turn to the river, but for the whole board the margin of error is not within acceptable limits.

I am SO HAPPY to hear you learned something. So did I. There were some suggestions along the way that long threads are a bad thing. Of course, when you start one - you never know how long it's going to be. So far there are ZERO responses to my question about network affiliations ( https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-rooms-10/how-network-sites-related-122801/ ).

I think this one, even though it was essentially answered by about the sixth post, went on because stats are kind of tough to understand AND even after James's calculations there were still people telling me that MY math in the original post was correct. I'm really happy I asked the question; otherwise I would have lived out the rest of my natural (and unnatural) life laboring under a false understanding.

Plus, I kind of enjoyed getting to know people a little bit.

I don't think this site has a chat feature does it? Some do. That might be kind of fun. Or maybe not.

By the way, did I mention that the question is resolved?
