Re: Permutations
The first type are recreational players. They never learn the secrets and are content to view a game of skill as a game of luck. They lose consistently and some become addicted.

Re: Permutations
No, the other type have a strong need to win. It is part of their life. They understand that what common people call luck and think can not be calculated, falls very neatly into statistics and probability. They see an opportunity to exploit the first group. They win consistently and some of them become addicted.

Re: Permutations
Are you claiming that a pokar game never ends in draw?
Hmmm

Re: Permutations
The longer you play the closer you get to your theoretical expectation. You win so much or lose so much on every play regardless of the actual result.

Re: Permutations
This is a very important concept. If I flip a coin with someone and he is willing to bet me 4 dollars on heads showing up for my 2 dollar on tails, then he will average losing ( 1 ) dollar each time he throws the coin. Even if he throws 100 heads in a row and is 400 dollars up his expectation shows that he really is 100 dollars loser.

Re: Permutations
This is why it is no longer a game of chance. When you make bets with positive expectation then in the long run your winnings will approach your expectation.

Re: Permutations
I did not claim it to be a game of chance. I do not know anything about it.
Why would some person want to bet 4 dollars for 2 dollars?

Re: Permutations
I'd say that A,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,K,Q,J is the sequence and a higher value defeats the lower?
Is it?

Re: Permutations
That is partially true.
The highest hand is called a Royal Flush, it consists of A,K,Q,J,10 all of the same suits.

Re: Permutations
A hand is 5 cards usually but sometimes more. You still try to make the best 5 card hand you can.

Re: Permutations
The second best hand is a straight flush. It is any 5 cards in order like 2,3,4,5,6 all of the same suit. Notice that a royal flush is a particular kind of straight flush.
