Questions Re: Outs/Probability/Percent Chance
X-posted: Beginners' Questions
Okay, I have a reallllly n00b question about calculating percent chance to catch: #1.) One of my outs on the Turn (calculation at the Flop) #2.) One of my outs on the River (calculation at the Turn) #3.) One of my outs on either the Turn or the River (calculation at the Flop) What are the correct formulae for these calculations? Am I correct that: Given: X = number of (clean) outs Y = probability (%) of hitting an out Is the formula for: #1: Y = (X/47)*100 #2: Y = (X/46)*100 #3: Y = ((X/47) + ((47-X)/47)*(X/46))*100 Given the preceding equations, I arrive at the conclusion that: Given 11 outs at the Flop: Is it correct that: Percent Chance to catch on the Turn: 23.4% Percent Chance to catch on the Turn or River: 41.72% Probability to catch on the Turn: 1147-11) = 1:3.27 Probability to catch on the Turn or River: (Need a formula for this) Secondly, how do you discount possibly tainted outs? If I have a read on opponent, or a suspicion that an out is tainted that equates to a 40% confidence, should I: #1. Discount the tainted outs by .4 #2. Not discount the tainted outs at all #3. Discount the tainted outs to 0 #4. Discount the tainted outs to 0 if confidence > 50%, do not discount the tainted outs at all if confidence < 50% It seems that #1 would be the mathematically correct approach, but that #2 would result in a looser approach, #3 might result in playing too tight, and #4 would be baloney [sic], but would impart to my game at least a minimal measure of the appearance of randomizing play styles. What approach is recommended? Am I calculating correctly? I really want to get the formulae down cold before I proceed with my game. I have a degree in Economics, but it's been 3 years since Econometrics, and 7 years since STAT 214, so I can't remember formulae to save my life! Thanks for any help, -Zak |
