I am interested in learning texas hold em
Since this game is a game of skill and probability it would be a good idea to list the odds of the chance of getting a winning hand from the cards dealt
ie if i was dealt a pair what would the odds of this being turned into two pairs or full house four of a kind
My dillemma at the moment is holding two cards of the same suit and wondering if this is worth the risk of trying for a flush or two consecutive cards and trying for the straight
Im sure the proffessional always take this into account when betting.
