I'm a new Poker player that mostly play online tournaments. I have a question about probability when I'm in the small blind (also applies to big blind after a raise).
Most times in the blinds you get the common crappy hands, which a tight player dont play. For example 94o. I often pay for seeing the flop when in small blind but I
have a feeling it's is a leak in my play? What do I wan't to get by playing? It's not to flop a pair... 99 top pair weak 4 kicker is really not that great.
I want to get three of a kind with one of my cards or pair both of my cards so I get two-pair.
My questions.
1) How big is the probability for for pairing my both two cards or get my three of a kind?
2) In which way do I calculate this?
Best Regards, Pug
