I can't remember where I read this but...

I read something on a poker strategy website, claiming "According to Hoyle, 65% of winning hands are made on the River." Is it just me or does this seem like it was made up? That seems like an awfully high number considering over 70% of your hand is created on the flop.

This 65% number seems made up. Can anyone shed some light on what the correct percentage might be?

If , by some strange chance, this is true, how should one adjust strategy knowing this info?

Depends on what you mean by made, you could look at it that every hand is made on the river.

Either way it doesn't matter, there is not some "New Knowledge" out there that hasn't been realized for the last 100 years. My suggestion... dont change your strategy (unless you currently suck :' )

Hi. Which Hoyle would that be? Sir Edmund Hoyle, who wrote definitive books on games and rules, died in 1769.
