Default Re: Probability of making a full house

Thank you very much for your help.

I corrected the calculation ...

Total of combinations: C(47,3) = 16'215

9 ranks with 4 cards left:
9 * C(4,3) = 9 * 4 = 36
9 * C(4,2) * 2[aces] = 9 * 6 * 2 = 108

3 ranks with 3 cards left:
3 * C(3,3) = 3 * 1 = 3
3 * C(3,2) = 3 * 3 * 2[aces] = 18

36+108+3+18 = 165 combinations of a total of 16'215 combinations make the full house.

16'215/165 = 98.3

= 97.3-to-1 or about 1.02%
