    This is good for beginners to intermediate players
    If you are playing cash games, you are at the wrong site

    @Fletcherx
    Unless you are retarded or just started playing poker 2 hours ago and never went to school, this video didn’t help much. You need 4th grade math to figure out the “breakdowns of percentages” but to you it seems it’s “great logic”…fucking miracles. There are a lot of good poker books and video lessons that you can buy, you probably won’t find them on youtube.All I said is not to expect much from this free lessons but I guess a buthurt faggot needed to show up and bitch around.

    @dotUnderline Unless you dont understand english or breakdowns of percentages which this guy gives great logic to. dipshit. its not like the pros know secret little gameplays that helps them dominate. they use very simple thought processes and understanding your hand techniques.

    @khesto02 zynga poker is shit. I have hit royal flush 7 times so far. and i started playing poker in zynga from november of 2009. Royal flush arent that easy to hit.

  12. khesto02 Says:

    mate i couldnt believe it myself when it happened but it did.i flopped quads then the next hand got a 4 on the turn and river

  13. derenkoff Says:

    @rlkavan i hit trip aces 2 times in a row once and quads aces couple of hours later

  14. derenkoff Says:

    @rlkavan where did u get this information? its way less quads two times in row is less too but its very rare yea

  15. rlkavan Says:

    to it the same pair twice in a row is over 40,000 to 1. To hit quads both times would raise it at least to the 10th power.

  16. khesto02 Says:

  24. Tacomonday Says:

    your good at math… I have a few question I dont know how to calculate these but it would be nice to know… once I saw a guy hit quads 4 times in a row.. two times with pocket pairs and two times with one card… and also I’ve been dealt aces two times in a row the same suit and the same place (left was heart-right was diamond) :) so if you could calculate that for me it would be nice Tyy
