We are in a holdem game and hold AKoff .

Flop comes K 2 and 2 rainbow.
The players are pretty loose, so we can assume they play random cards or almost random cards.
How big is the probability that another player is holding a 2?
Heads-up?
Against 2 other players
Against 3 other?
Against 4?
Against 5?
Against 6?
Agaisnt 7?
Against 8?
Against whole table?

Heads-up?
1 - (45/47 * 44/46)

Against N other players
1 - C(45,2N)/C(47,2N)
= 1 - [(47-2N)/47 * (46-2N)/46]
