Re: Stupid question from a math illiterate
Thanks! You obviously know what you're talking about. Could you please help me with this..
"so there are C(48,3) = 17296 possible flops."
I don't understand the symbols "C(48,3)". I know that if you hold two cards there are 50*49*48= 117,600 possible flops. So if you're trying to figure out your chances of NOT flopping a set it would be 48/50*47/49*46*48. Is that right?
I see what you're saying that we changed the nature of 117,600 flops for TWO cards, because we are now concerned with two more. But wouldn't that be, 48*47*46 for 103,776 possible flops for 4 cards?
I'm sure you can now see how and why I'm so terrible at math.
Also, do you know where I can learn more about how to calculate this stuff myself? Like how to calculate runner-runner possibilities, etc. It would be helpful so that I can think on my own without having to embarrass myself with stupid questions like these every time I want to figure something out.
Lastly, that was a cool site you game me, but I don't know how to input data into the calculator. Is there another page which explains how to format the data? Thanks.
