Hi,
I was watching a WPT show yesterday and and an interesting "stat" was mentioned at one of the breaks:
"You're at a 6 handed table, you are dealt pocket kings - what are the odd that someone at the table has pocket aces?
I don't remeber all the choices offered, but one of them was 220:1 (the one I thought was correct), but after the break, the answer was something like 30 or 40:1 (sorry, I don't remember the exact number).
I don't get it. I can see that it should be better than 220:1 since I know 2 cards that they DON'T have.
What am I missing? (Other than the details of the problem /images/graemlins/wink.gif)
Thanks
