Sorry I couldn't challenge you more.

Cheers.
Thats cool

Maybe I should keep this going...

Heres another probability problem

What is the chances of being dealt the Ace of spades and the Ace of diamonds when playing texas hold'em?

Say after the flop comes with 3 spades showing. What is the chances of making a flush with the turn card, the river card and both?

Lets say there were $2500 in the pot preflop and your opponent moves all in after the flop and has you covered, and you have $2100 left. Would calling this bet be profitable over the long run?
