For instance

- The board pairs a little over 1/3 of the time

- If the flop is rainbow a flush comes in about 4% I think?

- Front door flush is about 36%

- Higher straights are much more difficult. I think they are about 1/3, but Broadway straights are immune to this. 56 on a 478 flop is much more vulnerable than a 234 flop

In aggregate I think I've come close to the an answer (about 25%) by just putting in hands against straights multi-way, but does anyone have a way to get to a more precise answer?

In every tournament no matter the buy in I see players peel their cards only right when the action is on them, the reasoning I’ve heard is to develop routine and not give away tells but I feel like once action is on you and everyone is watching you peel you’ll give more chances to have your tells read? I want to open discussion on why others peel their cards when action is on them. There is also the thought that if you look right away at your cards you then get more time to focus on others tells as well rather than preparing to act on your own cards. Let me know your thoughts

What’s the best poker room going in Vegas right now for lower limit games? Coming for a weekend mid December and going to be playing 1/3 and 2/5. Thanks for your responses!

I play 1/3 pretty casually at casinos like Rivers in Chicago and Caribbean in Seattle. I'd like to take a vacation somewhere and play poker while I'm there, but I heard recently that Vegas 1/3 and 2/5 tables are nothing but nitregs nowadays. I want to try my hand at other games like 1/2 PLO, PLO5 DBBP, and so on. Are there other cities I should try to visit that would be better for this? Maybe some of the CA casinos?

Anyone live in Tucson and know the scene? I’ll be in town for work this week and looking to play something bigger than 1/3, which looks like that’s all casino del sol has.
