Hello everyone. This is my first post here after reading these forums for some time now. I've been playing poker for about a year now. But only seriously been thinking about it for maybe 6 months. While playing in a NL tournament at party, I was dealt 10/10 in MP. The blinds were 10/15. Very early in the tournament. I raised to 90. I get 4 callers. The flop comes Ace, Queen, 10 (rainbow). Guy in first position bets 200. I raise all-in. Everyone folds, but the original better who calls. The turn comes ace, and the river comes king. I receive the message that I'm out of the tournament. My opponent flips over A/K. Now as it appears to me the only way for him to beat my full house is for an ace to fall and a king.
I am trying to improve my math on this, so I would like to know if I did the math correctly to figure out the probability of this happening. He must have an ace fall, which is 2/47, and he needs a king to fall which is 3/46. To calculate the probability of this happening, do I just multiply these two numbers together? Thanks in advance.
