One more question, if I may.

Can anyone count the odds for hitting (assuming all needed cards are live):

flush

straight

straight flush

[/ QUOTE ]

I ran a sim in PokerCalculator by giving a player 5678 all hearts and made 22QQKA dead/seen cards. It dealt 100,000 hands and I added up the number of times it made each hand and got this:

Straight: 22.2%
Flush: 38.3%
Str. flush: 14.1%

Which looks right. Calculating for the SF, determine the probability of not making the SF with 3 cars to come:

1 - (40/42 * 39/41 * 38/40) = 13.94%
You'll make a straight flush an incredible one in 7 times (almost) and make any of above hands 3/4 of the time.

I'll still see if I can verify the others.
