Odds question, Mark Barnett II, 11. Sep 2003 09:09

is there a program or a book that breaks down just about all odds of doing anything on the flop in holdem?

Basic example:
what are the odds that if im holding KX that i will pair the king on the flop without an Ace flopping?

Extreme example:
what are the odds of flopping a four flush and a pair?

my idea is to try and figure out the basic odds of having a favorable flop hit your hand for any 2 cards *favorable being 2 pair or better or getting a draw to a staright or better*

telling someone 7-2 is unplayable is great but being able to say the reason why 7-2 isnt a good hand is cause its only gonna hit a favorable flop *some random number i have thought of, so no jumping down throat* 5% of the time i think is a better way of doing it, just as saying AA is a great hand is ok but saying AA is a great hand cause your gonna get a flop you like *again random number* 31% of the time is even better

I agree with your "7-2 theory but I often find 8-3 to be just as bad and more often
