Re: Eureka! Probability of flopping a straight.
For a given two down cards a straight may have a possible solution. Assume the solution is 7 8 9. Those numbers have be permeated 6 ways but considering the 3 suited values it results in 6 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 384 permeations. A number without any comment is referred to in computerese as a "magic number". It is considered a faux pas. Sorry.
