Default Re: How your hole cards affect the flush chances in Omaha.

[ QUOTE ]
In omaha you must use 2 cards and only 2 cards.

Sorry if my question was kinda blurry, what i boils down is that i say that on a full table it doesnt matter how many clubs u hold since it is being balanced by the other 36 cards. Hence the chances of a flush are the same if u have 2, 3 or 4 clubs. Its a statement/question.

Okay. Sorry about that. I've played Omaha once, like a year ago. The chance of flopping a flush has nothing to do with how many oppos you have. If you hold 4 of a suit, this will certainly decrease your chance of flopping a flush.

Eg, you hold 4 of a suit. Chance of flopping a flush:

(9 choose 3)/(48 choose 3) = 0.00485661425

If you hold only 2 of a suit:

(11 choose 3)/(48 choose 3) = 0.00953977798

So your chance is almost twice as good holding 2 of a suit.
