Omaha8 probability question
In omaha hi-low-8-or-better, if there is two low cards showing, what is the probability that it will hit by the river given these conditions:
a) you do not know any of the whole cards? b) you have 0 low cards in your hand? c) you have 1 non duplicating low card in your hand? d) you have 2 non duplicating low cards in your hand? e) you have 3 non duplicating low cards in your hand? f) you have 4 non duplicating low cards in your hand? Thanks in advance for doing my math for me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

You'll be more likely to get an answer posting this on the O/8 board.

Re: Omaha8 probability question
You mean that the low will come on the river given two low cards already on the board?
There are 8 low cards in each suit with 4 suites, so 32 low cards in the deck. You've see 2 of them, so there are 30 left. However, you can't pair one of the existing low cards on board, so you have to remove those 6 from the pool of cards that help you. Therefore we subtract 6 cards to get 24 cards that will make a low. a) Assumes you haven't got a hand. <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> 52 total cards total 4 cards seen on board 6 cards won't help 42 cards unseen and possibly helpful. 24 will help. 42:24 = 1.75:1 against the low getting there on the river. </pre><hr /> b) You hold 0 low cards. <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> 52 total cards total 4 cards seen on board 4 cards in your hand 6 cards won't help 38 cards unseen and possibly helpful. 24 will help. 38:24 = 1.6:1 against the low getting there on the river. </pre><hr /> The rest just progress from there. I think the math is correct, but I'm sure someone will correct if it's not. Regards, T |

Re: Omaha8 probability question
Dang, I just realized I made a mistake. You also aren't going to be helped by the three cards that would counterfeit one in your hand when you only have two low cards, so subtract 3 more cards that help.
I guess that's why you would want to post this in the O/8 forum. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] They're pretty friendly there. Regards, T |

As long as you don't come with a "I'm right, you're not" attitude, they'll be friendly. |
