thanks for the replies, Bruce. i'd be lost without you if i had to do math on my own at 7 am EST hehe. sometimes it's just not clicking. on Caro's site, he does have .98% for any flop containing a straight using QJ, i just happened to be looking at a part where he was only using KT9 and T98 flops.

im a long time lurker, btw, and i like to browse this forum to improve my thinking when it comes to poker-related math (or math in general).
