Odds of flopping a pair.
I've been going through some odds calculations because I wanted to make a chart like the one in "Pot Odds Made Easy" but with a few more pieces of information and some more useful information. I fired up excel and started at it. Most of my numbers agree with Krieger's table but a few don’t. Primarily my issue is with his percentage calculation for AK flops at least a pair of 32.4%. When calculating two cards of different rank gets a pair or better I get 21.9%.
My calculation is this: P[of one card on flop]=(N/50)*((1-(N-1))/49)*(1-(N-1)/48)+(1-N/50)*(N/49)*(1-(N-1)/48)+(1-N/50)*(1-N/49)*(N/48) P[of two cards on flop]= (N/50)*((N-1)/49)*(1-(N-2)/48)+(N/50)*(1-(N-1)/49)*((N-1)/48)+(1-N/50)*(N/49)*((N-1)/48) P[of all three on flop]= (N/50)*((N-1)/49)*((N-2)/48) The sum of these should give me the odds of getting at least a pair on the flop. Because there are 3 more A and 3 more K, N=3+3=6 Any one see a problem with this? Thanks ~CT11 |

Re: Odds of flopping a pair.
Thakns so much. It's been driving me crazy. I updated my spreadsheet and I got what was expected.
