thanks aaronbrown. i love watching you on channel 4 in seattle.

is it worthwhile to learn all these odds?? or does it just confuse???

for me to sit there and say 33% chance someone has pocket pair, but then someone acts like he has pocket pair, i'm not really sure.

i do remember harrington getting into some basic math (nothing to do with my question). i.e. you have pocket 10's and one overcard hits. he says opponent could equally have J,Q,K,A or perhaps a couple of those, so your odds aren't that bad i.e. good chance your opponent only has one of the other 3 overcards. this used to be a big leak in my game. i would always assume the worst i.e. overcard hits and i'm dead, but i've learned that's not the case.
