Default Re: Less Straightforward Holdem Pot Odds

* Firstly I have a query about when you flop a 3 straight and 3 flush on the flop. I assume the way to work this out is 1/5x/15 + 1/5x1/5 = 0.08.

Not exactly. You need a little more information to go on. To get an exact answer one would need to know what cards, since you may pick up an inside draw or outside draw on the fourth card, but an outside draw may be ruled out under certain circumstances.

Likewise, you don't want to double count a card that makes your flush as one tht makes your straight.

You might be able to estimate this as (8/47)*(4/46) + (10/47)*(9/46) - (2/47)*(1/46) =~ 0.056 or 5.6%

I'm sure someone will come correct my mistakes [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
