Lo all
Just a quick question which is mashing my brain a little ..
Lets say you have two pools of cards
Pool 1
A, K, Q, J, T
Pool 2
9, 8, 7, 6
What are the odds - in hold 'em - of being dealt 1 card from pool 1 and one from pool 2 (in any order)
I seem to have gotten myself in a fuddle working it out, my difficulties being the following :
If card 1 is from pool 1, you are left with 4 ranks and 4 suits (16 cards total) that card 2 MUST be
and
If card 1 is from pool 2 then your left with 5 ranks and 4 suits (20 cards total)that card 2 MUST be
Its the either/or situation that card 2 presents thats killing me
Can anyone help me out?? Oh .. and try and keep it simple for me, I ain't blessed with mathmatical prowess .. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
Thx in advance
