Alignment?

At least for me, the tables in 2.3.1 overlap with the text. Does this occur for anyone else? (I'm running Firefox 2 on Ubuntu, 1920x1200 screen resolution). Neilc 07:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, on looking closer, it seems the text overlapping with the tables has abated, but I think the table layout could do with some improvement in any case: the text winds its way through the tables, which are enormous, which makes it fairly hard to read. I can post screenshots of how the page renders on my machine if it looks fine elsewhere, but it definitely looks a bit off here. Neilc 07:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The text is not supposed to wind through the tables, and does not on IE 6.0 running on XP. There are <div>'s that allow (or at least are supposed to allow) the three related tables for the flop, turn and river to either layout as

F  R
T

or

F
T
R

The text should not be displayed side-by-side with the tables but rather be normally aligned between each group of three tables. A screen shot would be useful to see what you are getting in Firefox. When it lays out correctly using the first layout above, the size of the tables is a little more manageable. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 08:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Flush Probabilities?

there seems to be something wrong with the odds calculated here. Eg it says that the odds of a RF by the river is 59.11 : 1 and a straight flush 10:1. On a single hand? The odds of a RF in omaha is about 10000:1 according to http://www.math.sfu.ca/~faculty/alspach/art8.pdf . This agrees roughly with my experience having one RF in two years and 4 straight flushes. Am I reading this wrong? Baggier 11:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is giving the probabilities that a royal flush is the best possible hand on the river. That requires only 3 cards not 5
