Question from Poker, Gaming, and Life
On page 123 dealing with possible hand combinations and all David presents the following question for us to figure out on our own. Help me out and tell me if I did the problem correctly.
You are dealt QQ. Flop comes Q-J-10 leading you to believe your opponent has either a big pair, jacks or better, an AK type hand, or AQ suited. What is the chance I flopped the best hand. With a Jack on board there are only 3 combinations of JJ in his hand he can have. There are still 16 AK combinations. 6 AA combinations, 6 KK combinations, and only 1 AQ suited combination left. So that totals 31 total combinations he could have. So of the 31 combinations he could have I can beat 16 of them. All except AK, making me a 16/15 favorite, or 4/3 favorite. Is this correct? If not explanation on where I went wrong is appreciated. Basically is this a coin flip situation. I came up with 31 divided by 15 equals about 48% so it's almost a coin flip. |
