Message: [QUOTE="sam1chips, post: 2108740, member: 89277"] Yeah as it's been said above, the royal flush has the least probability from the start of the hand... Another interesting idea to look at on this similar topic is the flush vs straight. When you look at the %s to get each hand from the very beginning of the hand, it is very close. Also, if there is one card to go, you are actually [B]more likely[/B] to hit a flush if you are already holding 4 clubs (9 outs) then you are to hit an open-ended straight draw (8 outs). By using that reasoning, some people might say that hitting a straight is harder, and should be ranked higher than a flush. However, that is not true, because the rank of hands is determined from the probability of getting the hand from the very beginning of the hand! [/QUOTE]
