Re: PF question: suited junk in the bb vs pfr
You're 990/117600 calculation was correct. You shouldn't divide 117600 by 6. The fact that the order of the cards doesn't matter is already taken into account in the original calculation.
The flop is equally likely to come up Jd10d9d as it is to come up 9d10dJd or any other permutation of the Jd, 10d, and 9d. The odds of each is 1 in 117600. The odds of the flop containing the Jd, 10d, and 9d is therefore 6/117600.
To calculate the odds is straightforward. You've got three cards and they all have to come up on the flop. So it's 3/50 * 2/49 * 1/48 = 6/117600.
