Re: Math Question 2
The A has the K dominated. The flush possibility doesn't do much to offset the common 8. Run the same thing with K8o to see the difference. Or give the K another live card, like a 7, or add straight possibilities with a 9.

the straight is unlikely. so i give it 1 out? flush draw = 9, ace = 3. 13 outs = 48.1% not 74% as it says?.. [/ QUOTE ] When you are dealing with probability, the word unlikely has to be factored in.

Re: Math Question 2
That is called domination. Since the 8 is used by both hands, only a king can help the dog.
Try plugging these in: kc 7c As 8h K7 is worse than K8, but it does better against A8 because there is no domination (ie a 7 or a K helps the dog).

You put the board cards under the 'dead cards' which makes this very similar to a preflop matchup between the two. -Jman28 [/ QUOTE ] This is the proper pre-flop set up. Now you're looking at 70.8% - 29.2%
