Two Aspects of Draw Article

[Al Mirpuri]

There is an article called 'Two Aspects Of Draw' by Ben Frisch in the Internet Magazine. He states that it is 44% to improve a pair with a three card draw, to two pairs or better. Mike Caro gives a comparable table at www.poker1.com that gives it at being 28.71% to make two pairs or better (I say comparable as Frisch does not specify what his pair is whilst Caro has it as being aces). Who is right? Who is wrong? My experience tells me that Frisch is wrong.

We have a thread discussing this article which has been contributed to by Mark Gritter, who has it that Caro is right.

It appears the article is just plain wrong. The other part of the article is question of bluffing in draw which is very basic in its treatment of bluffs. It is a shame to see an article that is not quite what it should be. It is gratifying for a draw player though to see that there is a draw article at all.
