Although math in poker is less important than intuition, it remains the basis of the game of great players and has an important part in intuition.
So when you have a perfect command of the probabilities of poker, you know very quickly what to play, otherwise, the hesitation is much more important because the decision is based solely on intuition.

This is how each time I play online poker I see the same thing, players have two cards of the same suit in their hand, and on the flop, two cards of the same suit are added giving the player 4 cards of d 'a flush.

Usually, the player who gets the biggest pair starts to bet, and there the player who has 4 cards of a flush is convinced that with two cards remaining to draw he has at least a 1 in 2 chance of winning, so he usually puts everything. his chips and not once in two but 2 times out of 3 he loses because the probability of getting such a flush is only about 33%.

The other classic mistake that I meet very often is the pairs obtained before the flop which is overplayed, I have seen so many players lose everything ...
... with QQs or JJs that I prefer to warn you, you should know that 'with JJ for example, the probability that you don't have a set and that a higher card is drawn (a queen, a king or an ace) is about 51.5%, 1 in 2 chance of losing, not terrible.
Here are the odds that with a pair before the flop, there is a stronger card on the table and you don't get a set.

The Flush Myth
I am constantly surprised by the awful games some people can play on the pretext that they have two cards of the same suit. The odds of hitting a flush on the flop are just 0.8%. In addition, by playing small cards you risk getting beaten by a bigger flush! So please throw me this 37s, you will also avoid the mockery of the table.
