I know I shouldn't, but I just can't help it...

As to Phil the writer ... when I pick up a Card Player, I often start with Phil's article because I can count on being entertained.

As to Card Player ... it ain't Harper's and doesn't claim to be. And hey, it's free. Nobody there owes us a thing.

As to Phil ... I've played ring game no-limit with the guy a few times, and we've had a few emails, and he's a-okay in my book. Noisy, but not mean. Kinda like Ulysses. :-)

hey, that's a world champion youre besmirchin'.

yknow, i wonder why he didnt also state the reasoning behind this fact. there had to be one. it couldnt have been a stand alone 'fact' without explanation.

ive also noticed when he's on scenes in the WPT that theyve been showing him and some of his actions when he loses. just quick cut scenes, but most dont paint him in the best light.

could you imagine if he didnt bet on that fact? it couldve easliy showed up in his book under a handranking or some crap.

I'm relatively certain that the "fact" was that AKo can make one of two flushes... and the one of two four-flushes comes more often than the one three-flush.

[bernie]

am i understanding this?

it was said that its easier to flop a monotone board than a 2 tone board?

wow....

haha

[Ed Miller]

I'm just guessing, but I think this makes sense.

[bernie]

or could he mean that flopping 3 to a flush (2 on the flop) is easier than flopping 4 to a flush (2 on the flop, 2 in the hand)

if thats the case, does he mean hed chase to the turn trying to improve his flush?

eek

Maybe he thought it would be easyer to hit a straight with Ako than AKs. Who knows? [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
