The percentage chances for trips versus high pair is what Harrington called an "intelligent guess" he made by the way the hand was played and the fact that it is more likely the opponent has a high pair than he has trips. He multiplies the chance of each hand type by the probability of winning and adds the total for a 60% probability of winning.
