Default Re: Odds of hitting set with all 5 cards, not just flop.

LetYouDown,

Thanks for the percentage.

Can you please explain the formula?

1 - C(48,5)/C(50,5) = 19.18%

By "explain", I just mean how do I enter that into a caluclator to get the same figure?

If your calculator has a PRB or a nCr key then just use that and enter in the two variables. Otherwise...

C(N,r) = N!/r!(N-r)!

Im assuming you got at least a factorial button.. otherwise you are gonna be really doing this the loooooong way.
