Sometimes inspiration comes, sometimes only the hard way is left.
I am trying to evaluate the "outs" when holding cards that may produce a straight on the flop. I will evaluate the other possibilities later (an Integration by Parts lol) but I wanted to verify that my thought process is correct at the start or if anyone can suggest an easier way I would be grateful. LetyouDown my hat is off to the person who did this by bit shifting.
[ QUOTE ] Assume you hold a connector not bound on the low side or high side. Example: holding 4 5. There are 24 value combinations yielding a straight. 6 7 8 or 6 8 7 or 7 6 8 or 7 8 6 or 8 6 7 or 8 7 6 or 1 2 3 or 1 3 2 or 2 1 3 or 2 3 1 or 3 1 2 or 3 2 1 or 3 6 7 or 3 7 6 or 6 7 3 or 6 3 7 or 7 3 6 or 7 6 3 or 3 2 6 or 3 6 2 or 2 3 6 or 2 6 3 or 6 3 2 or 6 2 3 (24)<- Combinations * [(4 C 1)(4 C 1)(4 C 1)]<- suits [/ QUOTE ] Could anyone reply with an affirmation or correction.

Re: Sometimes inspiration comes, sometimes only the hard way is left.
It's bizarre but it looks right to me if you're counting EXACT ways a board can fall. As in...6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is different from 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. It might be a lot easier for you to handle if you reordered the cards before you analyzed.

You have obviously have had some exposure to programming, Regarding ordering, I was hoping to just be able to multiply based on the difference of the cards and the bounding limitation but "The ememy lines are fluid".

Oh, so you're just hoping to get the correct # odds of hitting a straight on the flop? I don't see why you're using permutations here, is my point...is it necessary?

I don't know if it is necessary but it is how I'm thinking of the problem now unless I can gleam a better way.

Re: Sometimes inspiration comes, sometimes only the hard way is left.
Well, if you hold 4-5...the board can come the following ways:
A-2-3 2-3-6 3-6-7 6-7-8 For each of these combinations, there are 4 * 4 * 4 ways they can fall in terms of suits. So you have: [4 * C(4,1) * C(4,1) * C(4,1)] out of a C(50,3) possible flops. If you're doing it via permutations, you end up with 6X that number...which you have. |

Yes, as it turns out algebraicly, if two cards have a separation D, and they are not bounded, it appears that (5 - D) * 384 is the number of combinations. The 5 - D value is decreased by each bound but I have not proven this to myself yet that is my present effort.
