Need help with some flop probability calcs
Hi guys,
Trying to do some work here... how do I calculate how often JT flops a straight? I have the answer; I'm wondering HOW. Thanks, M |

Re: Need help with some flop probability calcs
There are 50 choose 3 = 50*49*48/(3*2*1) = 19600 flops. You can flop a straight that is ace-high, king-high, queen-high, or jack-high. For each possible straight, there are 4 choices for the suit of each card, except that you should subtract off the straight flush. So, the total number of flopped straights is 4*(4*4*4-1) = 252. The probability of flopping a straight is 252/19600.

Re: Need help with some flop probability calcs
Okay, so I did this calculation correctly except I divided by 117600 total flops. Why exactly do we divide by 6? It's b/c of the permutations (?), right? The number of ways the same flop can come on the board?
Also, the sheet I was given said that a connector like JT flops a straight .31% of the time, not over 1% which you said. Is that sheet just wrong? Thanks, M |

If you distinguish between A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], then you have 6 times as many flops, and 6 times as many straights as I calculated. The ratio will be the same. [ QUOTE ] Also, the sheet I was given said that a connector like JT flops a straight .31% of the time, not over 1% which you said. Is that sheet just wrong? [/ QUOTE ] That sheet is wrong. In this table, Mike Caro confirms that the probability of getting a particular straight is about 0.33%, and that QJo flops a straight 0.98% of the time. QJo only has 3 possible flopped straights as opposed to 4 for JT. Perhaps you are looking at data that was caclulated for AKs, though that should be 0.32%. |

Re: Need help with some flop probability calcs
If you don't mind, P, then how do we do the problem of KQ flopping a pair? I know it's about 16% each or 32% total.
The way I was doing it was apparently wrong but I somehow came to the right answer...how do you do this? Thanks, M |
