Re: writing an article, want to double check math
By my reckoning there are 70 pairs of hole cards he could be holding and 33 of those give him a set, an overpair or a marginal pair. So that's roughly 50%.
12 of those 33 are pocket 8's and pocket 9's, leaving 21 out of 70 ways giving him a set or an overpair. Which is 30%.
So yeah, I see where you're getting those figures.
I doubt that helps you much, but it felt good to check it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
