All In
As any Texas Hold'em pro will tell you, it's a very bad feeling when you say the magic words "all in"... and your opponent flips over his pocket aces to make four-of-a-kind.
Or at least, so I hear.

I wouldn't know from personal experience, because on this particular instance, I was the guy holding the royal flush.
In any given seven-card hand, the probability of a four of a kind is 0.17%, of a straight flush, .027%. As for the probability of four aces versus a royal flush, this is left as an exercise for the writer, when he is not as sleepy as he is right now.
