***** Official Dumb Questions Thread **** - Page 406 - Beginning Poker Questions

Debate tonight..

Which hand would you rather have : A5o of 76s, this is in pub poker?

Both in general, and when you are out of position?

I argue A5 is the better hand as statistically it is! people argue against it saying 76 can hit flushes etc

please tell me I am right lol

Pretty sure 76s is the right answer, I will let the pros explain why.

If push stealing or considering calling a push-steal, A5, against an aggro shorty or if I'm short-stacking for some reason, A5. I can't think of any other situations where I wouldn't rather have 76s but there may be some.

From Illinois,

Can I currently bet real money online poker?

If yes, how and is it legal and safe?

If no, hypothesis on when I will be able to?

Sorry for the dumb questions

No I have it turned off.

I do sometimes make an exception, mostly for lols - I played a few MM events last week for last longer bets with friends, there were so many bronze-silver stars displayed that I turned mine on for fun.

Strangely, it didn't seem that i got any more respect for having the extra stars ...

i have flushdraw, gutshot, and middle pair.

does that mean the odds of hitting is:
flushdraw: 9 outs
gutshot: 3 outs (because one of the outs is a heart thats counted in flushdraw)
7's: 2outs

14outs? x 4 = 56% by river?

so it's coinflip if i push?

Maybe, if you think that villain has just a naked overpair. That's holdem thinking though.

How many outs do you have vs J

? or J

When people say they have a five star thread, what does that mean?

I log on 99% of the time on the android app. Yesterday, I tried looking online for some voting system but came up empty .

Been watching a lot of live poker lately, why does the dealer tap the table before they deal community cards?

It creates a brief pause to alert everyone that he's about to deal, and give them a moment to stop him if there's any action pending that he missed. Normally the dealer should be announcing the number of players at the same time. Just helps avoid mistakes.
