Re: Best guess

CD I do not need pills to be smart. I am always smart. At least that is what my mother tells me. Except when I am wrong. Then she rubs my belly and tells me to eat a taco to feel better about myself. But belly rubbing is a cultural thing that you might not understand. My dog likes belly rubbing too. I am not sure what country she is from though, I will ask. Tacos upset her tummy.

I might as well guess too on pokerguy's original question and sorry for the distractions:


Royals= 0

Aces w/kicker= 5

Aces w/o kicker and 2,3,4 w/kicker= 60

2's-4's w/o kicker= 70

Straight Flush= 4
Misc. Quads (5's-K's)= 251
5th card flipped over to same card different suit: 8,400 (not the expected 1,050)

  If we'd known that PG was going to be doing this we could have asked him to watch for flips as well.  Oh, I forgot - as far as we know, those flips only happen when playing 1-coin nickels, not 5-coin $2 play.
 
I'll bet you a microwave enchilada that my numbers are closer than yours, and I'll even throw in a salsa flavored yum-yum for your doggy.

I see it has been a slow day on the board and it has to be raining in a number of communities. I was going to venture my guess but when the number vigtillion showed up, I new this was way over my pay grade.

1 with 60 zeroes after it:  novemdecillion
           63                          vigintillion
           66                          undecillion
           69                          bizillion
 
The list I looked at ended at undecillion but I thought that I'd add our favorite big number to the end of the list and claim it for the site.

Just has to be my favorite dumb movie of all time.  Of course, followed closely by "Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

If you played this game and had 0 quads after 150000 hands, either the machine is biased or you're making the wrong holds with 100% certainty.  That is unless you see a difference between 100% and 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999%.

Hey new, is that value greater than a google? I first heard that word in Geometry and it stuck in my head until they decided to use it for a search engine.

Faygo, you liked that movie more than Airplane? Dumb and Dumber was indeed just that but hard to argue the stupidity that made Airplane such a dumb classic. Gotta love those Zucker bros.

I'd have to lean towards Blazing Saddles over Dumb & Dumber. And keeping on the movie theme, aren't there about a vigintillion ways to cook shrimp? Boiled shrimp, baked shrimp, grilled shrimp, cajun shrimp, shrimp cocktail, shrimp scampi, shrimp dejonge, steamed shrimp, shrimp salad. That's about it I guess so I think I'll go for a run.

The list I looked at ended at undecillion but I thought that I'd add our favorite big number to the end of the list and claim it for the site.  I know you were making a joke, but in continuing this nonsense you are off by 36 zeros on undecillion ["un" + "dec" = (1 + 10) x 3 + 3 = 36].  The word you wanted for 66 zeros is unvigintillion ["un" + "vigin" = (1 + 20) x 3 + 3 = 66].A bizillion is what a speech-challenged geographer calls people from the largest South American country.
