We’re all going to die eventually – that we know for sure – but the question is how. As always the answer lies in statistics, and to make it easier to understand for all you poker junkies, we’ve compared the odds of dying to the odds of poker.

    I’ve had all the hands above and died everytime – excepting the Royal Flush, has 4 K beaten by 4 A – seriously, and that’s something you NEVER want to experience…..

    dan: One hand is one lifetime. So if you lived as many times as you have played a hand of poker, that would be hard to explain…

    Odds of getting killed by a gun are 1 in 325? In has to be much more unlikely than that, I would think.

    Lol Gosta. Modern science will not be the same after this outrageous affront. This little blogger singlehandedly put an end to all research done at universities around the world. Shame on you Mr. River.

    This is an outrageous affront to modern science! The results are obviously flawed and the methods biased. When did this pass legitimate peer-review? Didn’t think so…

    I’ve had all the hands above but not died once. Explain that :)
