Default Re: Holdem Math(read M. Petriv\'s Book)

Probability of one pair on the flop w/ any 2 cards of different ranks (like AK) is 19600/5676= 29%!

Make that 5676/19600. An even easier way to do this using just fractions is to figure the probability of exactly a pair with the first card on the flop being A/K is (6/50)(44/49)(43/48) and then multiply all this by 3 since the A/K can occur in any of the 3 positions, to give 29%.
