Number of flushes
2008-08-14

There's $16 in the pot and you're four players to the K 5 4 flop.

Let's assume that all of you go all-in with the exact same stack sizes. All of your opponents have either sets or flush draws, and your stacks are all huge so the $16 in the pot don't matter. This is just a though experiment anyway.

There are, in other words, four possible scenarios:
1) All opponents have sets
2) Two opponents have sets, one has a flush draw
3) One opponent has a set, two have flush draws
4) All opponents have flush draws.

In how many of these scenarios can you expect to make a profit in the long run?





In zero cases
This is a bit of a trick question...

When one or two opponents have sets, you're done for - expectation wise. When all opponents have sets, you're doing good, but when all opponnets have flush draws, you could make up scenarios where you're either ahead or not.

Therefore, both one or two cases are correct today.
