Default Re: JJ folded to you in the CO

Here's one way to look at it....

There are 3 hands... Aa Bb Cc
Put the first over into A... there are now 5 places the second over could end up, but only one of these spots (a) put both overs in the same hand... a 1 in 5 chance

Similarly, for 3 overs... put an over in A... the next over has a 4 in 5 chance of ending up in another hand... so now there will be an over in A and B... with 4 empty spots for the last over... 2 out of 4 end up in C... so the chance of all 3 overs ending up in different hands is 4/5 * 2/4 = .4
We are interested in the other times = 1 - .4 = .6
