Re: Pot Odds Calculation - Help! - Need trips or two pair
If it's given that he has pocket aces and you have 7-5 off-suit , and you wish to avoid an ace on the flop . Then the probability you hit two pair or trips is :
6c2*40/48c3 ~ 3.4690%
2) This is low enough to indicate that it's usually a bad idea to play for a 3.5% chance of hitting two pair or trips .
3) You can say something like , 3.5% of the time I will win more money post-flop then I will lose on average . In general , it's not a good idea to call raises pre-flop when you're only hope is to hit a low percentage play like two pair or trips .
