Flopping dominated flushes

[HeroHunter]

I grind micro limit tables short stacked on Full Tilt. Several times this week I've flopped a flush, checked it, then reraised all in only to find that somebody else flopped a higher flush. Once this happened holding KQs. Can anybody tell me where I might find the odds of this happening?

The thought of a short stacker getting coolered makes me .

Please post more SS coolers and bad beats...

It depends what type of player goes all in, how early in the tourney is it and how many people in the pot. If it is heads up, it is very unlikely he has a flush as well and you should almost never lay it down. However you lead out on flop w low flush draw and get 2-3 callers, I would be careful going all-in when it comes....

Rare. Stack with 2 card flushes when short stacked (and usually DS too).

I think poker sites should finally admitt what had been suspected by most players of online poker sites for some time: The hands played out on the site are not random, but are instead rigged to create the most dramatic wins and bigger pots.

Please keep that kind of stupidity for the tin foil hat lunatics thread.

I moved it.

Any further discussion of that post can take place in the linked thread.

More cannon fodder for Stu eh Dakota?

When you and your opponent both have 2 of a suit, there are 9 remaining in the deck of 48 unknown cards. The odds of the board coming out all your suit are:

9/48 * 8/47 * 7/46

.188 * .170 * .152 = .00486

So a little less than one half a percent of the time, when two players hold the same suit, they will both flop their flush together.
