Default 2-7 3x Draw Predraw

How many 5 card combos are there?
How do you figure it out?

How do you figure chances of a pat hand?

Ex. 23457 What are the chances? Of course the pat hands cant be flushes.

Ex. 2347X How many are there?

How do you figure it?

If I have a specific list of starting hands, how do I figure how often I'll have them?

There are C(52,5)=(52*51*50*49*48)/(5*4*3*2*1)=2598960 possible starting hands.

There are four choices for each of the five cards, so there are 4*4*4*4*4=1024 ways to have 23457. Of these, there are 4 which make flushes, leaving you 1020 possible nut hands. To figure the chances of being dealt such a hand, it's just 1020/2598960.

How do you then calculate the chances of a 1 card 7 draw?

2347X

X can equal 2,3,4,7, and any card greater than 7

The best way to figure out the probabilities for specific starting hands, I think, would be to write a small piece of code to simulate it for you.

That "1 card 7 draw" is pretty tricky to get exactly because of the whole "no flush" thing.
