Default Re: in holdem if you flop and open ender

Dear closer,
I'm new to the game and was told that this site is a good one to learn things at. I was wondering, why is a flush ranked higher than a straight if it's easier to hit the flush with the 34.97%?

Because it's harder to hit a 4-flush than it is to hit a 4-straight. (including gutshots)

It's just that once you're already 4/5th's of the way there, the flush is easier to finish up.
