Hi,

Thanks again for the responses. Andy, I have a couple of questions about something you said.

"There aren't any specific cards you have to catch, it's easier to make a flush..."

How do you mean that there are no specific cards? It seems that there are specific cards which help a straight draw, and specific cards that help a flush draw. I am unclear on how a flush doesn't require specific cards while a straight does.

Also, how is a flush easier to make? Surely there aren't more seven card hands that make a flush than a straight. Otherwise, I claim I have found a significant flaw in the standard hand rankings [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

One thing I was thinking is that a small flush draw can become a big flush by catching a high card of the correct suit, but a small straight draw can never turn into a big straight. Not sure how significant or clever that is.

Again, thanks to everyone for the help. You are all far better players than I. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
