15.87% for the first question, a friend of mine constructed a rough monte carlo simulation, so the 16% is gooooooood./
btw Mark what do you use to calculate that ?

A software tool I wrote myself. It calculates the end result of a draw given some simple constraints (drawing to 7, 8, or a 9). There are some tricks I use to make calculating the exact probability work in a short amount of time (without using monte carlo techniques) but the code doesn't handle potential flushes well at the moment.

I'm working on a version which will calculate hot+cold EV for perfect play (i.e., no betting in later streets, always drawing with knowledge of other players' cards) but I haven't made much progress lately.
