Re: Very simple math question, but I need help
[ QUOTE ]
My hand:AA
Flop A23
47 unseen cards, 7 give us a FH or better. 7/47=14.893%
Turn A237, 46 unseen cards, 10 give us a FH or better 10/46=21.739%.
14.893%+21.739%=36.632%
That's a 3.632% difference from HEPFAP. Is my math right, and the book worded wrong, or is my math wrong? Thanks

the way you have done it, you have forgotten that you have "used up", so to speak, 14.893% of the 100% of time - you are only interested what happens on the turn draw for the remainder of time
therefore you should be calculating 21.739% of (100 - 14.893)% for the second part, or 21.739% of 85.107%, which is 18.501%
so your answer should be 14.893% + 18.501% = 33.394%
