Default Re: Chances of holding an Ace?

a priori they collectively have 16 "outs" in 50 cards or roughly 32%. (the precise number is (1 - combin(46,4)/combin(50,4)) = 29%.

However the fact that they called narrows their range of hands significantly if they are good players, and Aces may actually compose a much larger percentage of their range of calling hands.
