Re: Odds Of A Flopped Two-Pair Running Into A Flopped Set.
Unless you flopped top two in each case you'll want to also allow for the possibility of running into a better [two pair].
If you did, or if the board was so ragged (J-6-2) that no sane opponent could have also flopped two pair . . . the Ambien is kicking in - I'll sum it up as best I can [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Work it backwards.
Instead of trying to guestimate how often one or more of your oponents started with a pair, assume nothing about their hand (other then the aforementioned "it wasn't J-2").
If the flop was indeed J-6-2 and you hold J-6, what is the chance that someone holds 2-2 ?
- Seems like a good spot to use the old, "what is the chance that none of them do" method.
- I swear I knew the name for this application just 10 minutes ago. (zzzzzzzzz)
If nobody jumps in I promise you an answer by close of business tomorrow - tho I'll say now that ONCE was unlilkely, twice very much so, and three times . . .
Were I you I might spring for some extra insurance if I had to fly anytime soon.
