Default Re: Odds of hitting set with all 5 cards, not just flop.

[ QUOTE ]
I have done a search but can't find the odds of hitting your set by the river.

I am not looking for the odds from the flop to the river, instead, I am looking for the odds preflop, knowing there are five cards to come.

For example, it is 7.5 to 1 to hit on the flop, so I assume the odds of hitting by the time all five cards are out is close to 6 to 1?

(50/52)(49/51)(48/50)(47/49)(46/48) = 0.815

1 - 0.815 = 0.185

Probability is 18.5% you will get a set or better by the river.
