about 48.5 to 1. looking at a chart that says odds of hitting A & K and smaller card on flop when you hold AK suited is 48.5 to 1 or 2%.

To calculate this, not that there are 19600 possible flops. You want to count all the flops that have a four, a six, and another card. There are three fours left, three sixes, and 44 remainder cards. So, there are 3*3*44=396 possible flops that give you two-pair. 396/19600 is 0.0202, or 48.5 to 1.

I am not sure what you mean by two pair or better, do you mean straights, etc? If you are talking about flopping two pair, three of a kind, or four of a kind the probability is as follows.

= ((6c2)*44 + (6c3))/(50c3) = 3.469% or 1 in 28.8 flops
