Thank you [/ QUOTE ] If you have hole cards that can flop a royal, then there is only 1 royal flop out of 50*49*48/6 = 19,600 total flops, so the odds are 19,599:1. For example, if you hold JhTh, then the only royal flop would be the one containing Qh Kh Ah. You can also compute the probability of this flop as 3/50 * 2/49 * 1/48 = 1/19,600 or odds of 19,599:1. |

So if you are playing Omaha and have J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], your odds of flopping the royal would be 9,799:1.

[/ QUOTE ] No. There are no longer 19,600 possible flops. 2/C(48,3) = 2/17296 = 8647:1. |
