Default Re: How much money will I make with this hand?

Were you drinking or a bit or on some kind of hallucinogen? I hope this is a hypothetical question only and that if this ever happened, you never returned to that card room.

Why didn't you just ask, what are the odds of me winning this hand with a straight?

The only thing (I'm guessing) that affects the probability of winning the hand is that you can hit by a running two pair or running trips. So the odds of you hitting the straight should be:

1 - C(37,2)/C(45,2) = 1 - 666/990 = 32.7272...%
