    Um, 8:08 – wtf?! The chance of flopping 1 pair with any 2 unpaired hole cards is 28%, not 12%, and 32% to make a pair *or better.*

    People pay money for this crap?

    Hes using the 4 and 2 rule of Hold’em, which is calculate your outs for the flop (in the pair case is 3) and then multiply by 4 = 12%, it would be 24% for either one of the cards to hit

    @neeber89 first of all, he said “the likelihood of flopping A PAIR is only 12%.” Not a pair of aces, or top pair, but a pair, as in any pair. Second, the rule of 4 and 2 applies to the probability of hitting an out on the turn or river *when you’ve already seen the flop,* not the likelihood of making a hand ON the flop. So you’re barking up the wrong tree there.

    I don’t know where he got 12% from. Probably his ass.

    A great thing to do in early, middle or in the blinds is check in the dark before the flop turn and river,, it basically puts you in late position
