I must be slow... I don't see the difference. The wording is as show in SS. "The probaility that no player has an Ace (including yourself) "If you have no Ace the probability that no one has an Ace"
In both cases, the hole cards have been dealt and I have no Aces. There is not an ASSUMPTION indicated. Both columes state I don't have an Ace. Why would the proability of an Ace having been dealt to anyone change just because I know I don't have one? Tell me again the difference. |

Assume 10 handed. In the first example, you have no knowledge whatsoever, including your own cards. In the second example you have knowledge of your cards.
First: C(48,20)/C(52,20) Second: C(46,18)/C(50,18) |

OK, I'm slow but I'm almost there and I'm still missing the obvious.
First: C(48,20)/C(52,20) Second: C(46,18)/C(50,18) I see what the 20 and 18 are - unseen dealt cards. Where do the other numbers come from? This newbie thanks you for your patience and help. |

First: Number of combinations you can deal 48 non-aces when you deal 20 cards divided by the number of combinations you can deal 52 cards when you deal 20 cards.
Second: Number of combinations you can deal 46 non-aces when you deal 18 cards divided by the number of combinations you can deal 50 cards when you deal 18 cards. |

"The probaility that no player has an Ace (including yourself) "If you have no Ace the probability that no one has an Ace" Tell me again the difference. [/ QUOTE ] The first one is before you have looked at your cards. With all dealt cards face down, what is the probability that no one has an ace. Think about an observer watching the game who can't see any hole cards. I don't know why you would want to use this one. The second one assumes you have checked your hole cards and you have two non-ace cards. |
