Thx Aloiz

The problem with your line of thinking is that it has very little use in a real world situation. Players don't value every hand equally; therefore, the odds that you are ahead in the givin scenario would be misleading.

I think most of the probabilty discussions could give "misleading" results. What I am looking for is the method of making the determination. Once I know it, then I can make adjustments based on likley hand values. In some cases against some very loose and passive players or where there are blinds posted, their hands are very close to random and in those cases results like this may indicate something.

If you really want to figure out the odds of you being ahead assuming completely random holdings, the easiest way would be to use some of the simulation software that's availible.

So it is your belief that this problem is not solvable by normal mathematical means?

Thx again
