Default Re: Very simple math question, but I need help

Please forgive me for nit-pickin' but all of the answers that have been given do not properly address the situation.

Given that you have flopped the top set... and you need to improve in order to win the hand (FH or better) then the calculation should be as follows:

1 - (38/45 * (6/32 * 35/44 + 26/32 * 34/44)) = ~.3439

a) your opp. obviously has 2 cards that you do not need, therefore you should use 45 unknown cards instead of 47
b) this takes into account the chance that the turn may be a card that your opp. holds, thereby giving you only 9 outs on the river instead of 10.
