SavagePenguin said: I used to think the same thing as the OP. Straights *seemed* like they'd be harder to get than flushes, but that's not the case.

Yes but those stats take into account only a five draw out of 52deckThose are raw data and biased.If you play straight poker no discard well that's the odds But if you go texas hold'em...That's another matter.All the missing low connectors got less chances.Example 4&8 what are the odd?Of the 5 card to get 3 that gonna fill the straight? Vs the odds of getting a flush of those same cards.You got less chance of getting straight out of 4s and less or Q and above than from 5s to 10sAnd finally the wining straight vs loosing... the upper hand is winning over the lower end so more then half the straight sequence are just discarded and never seen.Because the odd is sequencial based unlike for flush.If you draw a 5 of heart... there is 32 cards of the 51 remaining that can allow to get a straight; vs 12 out of 51 for flush.The sequence odd give more chance up front but that goes down.If you got 2 3 4 6 of heart what are the odds of getting a flush vs a straight?You still got 9 out of 48 for the flush but the straight is down to 4 cards out of 48.So if you drop half of the odd for those missing connectors .Flush are more commun.I think it should be added straight of odd or even just to increase the chance of straight more appart from the flush and make it obvious that flush is better.If you had sequences of...2 4 6 8 10 Q AAndA 3 5 7 9 J KAfter taking into account the the discarded missing connector you get a clearly better odd vs flush and still less better vs 3 of a kind.

What was the best year for the GTO Judge?

1969 All rise for the Judge. The 1969 Pontiac GTO “The Judge” was voted the best muscle car in 1969 (which is considered by many to be the best year in automotive history) according to thousands of votes on Summit Racing's Facebook polling.

All rise for the Judge.

Our friends at Summit Racing and we at OnAllCylinders were commemorating the 50th anniversary of this legendary year in American automotive history when we asked you to vote for your favorite. Inevitably, a bunch of people will feel outraged that their favorite car didn’t win. We’re sorry and mourn with you. Every car in the eight-car field was a legit contender, along with another dozen that didn’t even make our little tourney.

Here’s how the voting went down:

First Round Voting Results – Best Cars of 1969

NOTE: Look how close the vote was between The Judge and the Boss 429 Mustang (and, to be fair, the COPO ZL-1 and Charger R/T as well). No shame in the first round knockout for the Boss or General Lee. Either car could have won the entire thing had the voting winds been blowing ever so slightly in a different direction.

Good stuff.

But The Judge is just a little bit more of a winner than everyone else. Here are a couple more shots of one just in case you’re wondering why.
