Running Good (No Content)

No way is this close to 1 out, it is the biggest suck possible in THE; runner-runner only-cards-in-the-pack makes it 1:1,081 on the flop. I've seen this once; pocket 77 vs pocket 55 with a 7 on the flop and no 5, sees run-run 5's for quads. I was at the sharp end of that. Ooof!

Just to be completely pedantic: not only is this not true in this case (because of the straight draw) but even if it were, it's only 989-1. Almost a sure thing!

Actually its hard to find a flop where one player needs to hit a 1 outer twice. Normally there is some kind of runnerrunner straight or flush. But a flopped set against a smaller pair - like your 77 against 55 and flop something like AT7, rainbow - would be one of those.

On the flop he could also hit runner runner aces to win.

I usually raise this in six max pre flop, did you have a read on utg+1, were you mixing up your play, or am I just too aggro with AJo in the blinds? Also, have you been playing in the 15/30 full under about 20 different names?

To catch the only 2 cards in the pack on a runner runner is:

2/47 on the Turn
1/46 on the River

2/47 x 1/46 = 1/1,081

What am I missing here? I only vaguely remember someone putting up a different result when this cropped up months ago, and someone else agreeing with this number.

That would be correct, except that he had 4 additional outs (tens) and another potential runner runner (2 aces) on the flop.

I once had a guy go runner runner 1 out on me to split the pot. I forget the exact situation, but the only way he possibly gets any money from the pot is going perfect perfect for a split. Is that worse than him taking down the entire pot? I know you don't loose any money, but I personally was insulted that he got any money when it was impossible for him to take down the entire pot on the flop.

I don't see how you make so much money when you keep on chasen such horrible odds like this.

One possibilty would be...

K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] vs 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

and then 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

This happened in a tourney to me too, I had AQ and the flop was AAQ (4 all-in including me) and the Turn and River went K-K and I split the pot with A7o... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Perhaps I should have been glad no-one had KK... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
