Default Re: Pot Limit Omaha Hi odds...

[ QUOTE ]
I have a pretty good handle on Hold em odds and probability....but in dabbling with PLO I'm lost when it comes to the odds and probability...


For example, in hold'em the odds of pocket AA is 221:1....

[/ QUOTE ]

No, 1 in 221 = 220:1.


[ QUOTE ]
what are the odds of someone having AAxx in PLO...

[/ QUOTE ]

If xx are non-aces, odds of being dealt AAxx =

6*C(48,2) / C(52,4) =~ 2.5% or 1 in 40 = 39:1

If xx can be aces:

[6*C(48,2) + 4*48 + 1] / C(52,4) =~ 2.6% or 1 in 38.9 = 37.9:1
