Very interesting question by the way. Maybe we should start a new thread with a more appropriate title to see what the combined brains of Chit Chat think on the matter?https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23451162/calling-studyform?post_id=418781210#418781210Yes, sir, that seems to be the facts of it.

And only three for trips.And, of course, one of these four may well fall as the 6 ♥ or the 8 &https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23451162/calling-studyform?post_id=418781174#418781174Sorry, crossed posts there.Yes, what you say is true, but there is still a four card pool from which to keep one's hopes of a straight flush alive.

Your figures appear irrefutable, sir, and yet with one card down it occured to me that a running flush had the greater potential.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23451162/calling-studyform?post_id=418781142#418781142Hi Study. :)This has got me quite interested.

I don't know!It might have a bearing, but i would have thought that 52 chances against 48 is still favourite, as 3 cards are dealt to everyone straight out so there's no depending on subsequent cards.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23451162/calling-studyform?post_id=418781106#418781106Hello - just got in.To answer you question PM,...
