Re: How to count the combinations to get a pair in the hole.
You want to know why there are 6 combos for aces? Simple. The Ac has three partners...The Ah, As, Ad. That's three combos right there. Next, we take the Ah...we already counted Ah/Ac, so Ah only has 2 combos...As and Ad. 2 + 3 = 5. Next, we take the As...its already been crossed with the Ac and the Ah, so all we have left is As and Ad. And by now the diamond has gotten around, so there are no more combos to make. 3+2+1=6.
1. Black Aces
2. Red Aces
3. Heart/Club
4. Heart/Spade
5. Diamond/Club
6. Diamond/Spade
