Default Re: Newbie Odds Question

Krieger's chart is actually for Hold'em, as in Omaha there are 2 more cards in your hand and therefor 2 more known cards.

For example, lets say you hold four to a flush on the turn in holdem. There are 52 cards in the deck, subtract 4 for the board cards (3 on the flop, 1 on the turn), and then subtract the 2 from your hand and you are left with 46 unknown cards. 9 of those cards complete your flush, while 37 of them do not, so your odds on completing your flush with one card to come is 37 to 9, or about 4.11 to 1.

Now imagine the same situation in an Omaha game. Out of 52 cards, on the turn there are 4 on the board, but now there are 4 in your hand, leaving you with 44 unknown cards. 9 cards complete your flush, while 35 of them do not, so your odds on completing your flush in Omaha is 35 to 9 or about 3.89 to 1.
Someone please correct me if I have screwed this up.

I don't quite understand your question about the full house. Are you talking about making a full house when you have two pair vs three of a kind?
