I just won Tony Boughton in a battle today. I was high at 36% and the other school was very high at 64%. While I'm happy to take him. I could seriously see how that could pizz somebody off. What's the lowest you've ever seen a high/very high battle go to? 70/30?

Pretty sure I've seen them go down to 74/26.

I won a 26 % roll, lost a 73%...

I would just like to point out that catching an open ended straight or flush on the river card are way worse than 3:1. The Belmont Stakes winner was like 5:1. Getting heads twice in a row is 4:1. Getting laid while wearing jorts is like 100:1 (ok, that's never happen to me).

Probability is a ***** sometimes....

I didn't get a screenshot before recruiting ended last night, but I signed a transfer against two sims, and I was only at High with an 18% chance of winning.

I just won a 3way battle as a dog in every sense. (all humans; I'm The Mount)

Maryland - B - Very High - 49%
Mount St. Mary's - C - High - 31%
UConn - B+ - High - 20%

I don't feel bad though lol because I've been on this guy since day 1 and they joined the party later.

The odds of hitting an open ended straight on the river is actually 2.2 to 1 or 31.3%. The odds of hitting a flush on the river is 1.9 to 1 or 35.5%.

Assuming the game in question is Texas Hold'em, there would be 46 unknown cards (52 in the deck - 4 on the board - 2 in your hand = 46) and 8 cards that could make an open-ended straight. That's roughly 17.4% (8/46) For the flush, there would be 9 possible cards to hit and complete the flush from that deck of 46 unknowns, or a touch over 19.5%. Not sure where your numbers came from, but there's a major leak in your game if you're chasing and expecting to hit at the percentages you list.

You should have just kept quiet and challenged him to play poker. lol

That is why I walked away from the Game A few years ago

What are you referring to? You bumped a thread that hasn't been touched in 2 years! Was it the OP or one of the other comments?

Maybe he was hoping one of his poker opponents was reading this thread.

Free poker tip of the day: An easy way to calculate approximate odds of making a hand on the river is to double your outs. EX: for an oesd: 8 x 2 = 16% (real odds 17.4%) and flush draw: 9 x 2 = 18 (real odds 19.6%).

Bonus poker tip of the day: An easy way to calculate approximate odds of making a hand on the turn is to double your outs twice (quadruple the outs if that math is easier for you). EX: for an oesd: 8 x 2 x 2 = 32% and flush draw: 9 x 2 x 2 = 36%.

Last cycle, I was in a VH-VH-H battle. I ended at 43% - the guy at 41% didnt win either - kid signed at 15% school. Bummed out, but it happens.

Ok so I'm pretty new to HD and am doing an OK job since I've started. I am at Jax St. and was battling a recruit against Miss St. He was very High and I was High and both had scholarship offers. He was a sign whenever player, but I laid off and he ended up signing him in the 2nd round of recruiting. If I had kept, did I have a shot? How can you tell the percentages?
