Re: Odds of being dealt any pair or specific pair in first 3 cards
This is the same as the probability of a paired flop in hold 'em. The probability of a pair is 1 minus the probability of no pair, and this is:
1 - 52*48*44/(52*51*50) = 17.2% or 4.8-1.
This includes sets which are 0.35%. Divide by 13 to get the probability of a specific pair or set = 1.3% or
75.7-1.
Earlier I posted this for the whole 5 card board as a proposition bet. The board is almost even money to be paired in 5 cards (49.2%).
