Assuming it's heads up and the other person's hand is entirely random, the formula is www.pokerstove.com

As LetYouDown suggested, there is no easy formula, but there is a good computer program that does it for you. In principle the calculation is simple, you just consider every possible set of 7 cards held by the other player and on the board; then count up how many times you win versus losing. But that would take a long time to do by hand.

Thanks! i just downloaded it. as for heads-up, it's easy to calculate. i tried doing four handed, but it would've taken probably about 10 minutes to get the results. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Change from Enumerate All to Monte Carlo. It doesn't take long to get that A4o wins about 27.2% against 3 random hands.
