9-handed table. It's folded to you in the Cutoff. You have JJ.
What is the probability that at least 1 of the remaining 3 opponents yet to act has 2 overcards to your jacks? There are 50 unseen cards left, 12 of which are "overcards". I'm too lazy to do the math.
PS: Ignore the implications that the previous 5 opponents all folded junk. Assume it's perfectly plausible that as many A's, K's, and Q's got folded as did 2's, 3's, and 4's. (Example, UTG would muck A2, UTG+1 could easily muck K3, next guy may have Q4, etc..) Don't assume the previous 5 opponents mucked all low cards. Just use the 12 overs with 50 unseen cards remaining theory. In other words, pretend you are first to act at a 4-handed table! There...much easier! /images/graemlins/smile.gif
