Rob,

Thanks for taking the time, it was very helpful. I thought your method was plenty "neat" and makes intutive sense. Great job, I appreciate it.

On a sidenote, this works the other way for the positive thinkers out there. You can calculate the probabability of getting 4 spades at .1876%, 3 spades at 3.4307%, and 2 spades at 19.94%. These add to our elusive 23.6%.

Although this is very interesting to me, I can't do factorials at a poker table. When they talk about players "knowing the odds" do they have these percentages memorized for different situations? Are there tables out there available with the odds for different situations?

Thanks for helping out a beginner.
