Re: What are the odds of a royal flush in Hold\'em?
(1/52* 1/51 * 1/50 * 1/49 * 1/48)* 4 = chances for a royal flush in 5 card stud (i think). well, no, that's only if they have to come up in some prescribed order. since they can come uup in any order, the chances are 20x (or so) better. i forget how to do combinations now too. i don't know how to do the math for a 7 carded game.
btw, i think the math is way more interesting than the answer. if anyone knows, please explicate.
