Default Re: Rephrasing the question

[ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the reply. I know that my math was off, if you look at it in the way you took it. But I think I'm asking a different question than what you suggest. That's why I didn't took in calculation the probablity of the occurance happening on the former streets. I was trying to look at each street for its own, only I'm not sure I did it right, and how one should actually do it. I didn't try to solve it, or to get the right probablity, but only to see, in a way, what is "more probable".

I will rephrase my question (or actually phrase it for the first time):


Player A had AA, player B had 22. They were both all-in pre-flop. You *know* player B outdrew player A by hitting his set on one of the streets. What is the probablity he hit his set on any specific street?

Each street is equally likely. You assume one and only one of the 2's will be on the board of 5 cards. This problem is equivalent to having 5 cards in your hand 1 of which is a 2. Shuffle them out and turn them over face up. The 2 has an equal probability of being in each of the 5 streets.
