Default Re: Prop bet and a math ?

[ QUOTE ]
find the probability of not hitting one of the three cards and subtract from one.

1-[(43/52)*(42/51)*(41/50)] = .441 = 44.1%

in other words, more likely that a Q, 7 or 2 will come on flop than not.

somewhat related is the equation used to decide when its worthwhile to play high cards vs lowcards. As we've all seen before, there's about a 50% chance of high cards and an equal 50% chance that low cards will come, HENCE, the reason that 23 = KQ.

BIMO, QED.
