One more question, if I may.

Can anyone count the odds for hitting (assuming all needed cards are live):

flush

straight

straight flush

[/ QUOTE ]

I ran a sim in PokerCalculator by giving a player 5678 all hearts and made 22QQKA dead/seen cards. It dealt 100,000 hands and I added up the number of times it made each hand and got this:

Straight: 22.2%
Flush: 38.3%
Str. flush: 14.1%

Which looks right. Calculating for the SF, determine the probability of not making the SF with 3 cars to come:

1 - (40/42 * 39/41 * 38/40) = 13.94%
You'll make a straight flush an incredible one in 7 times (almost) and make any of above hands 3/4 of the time.

I'll still see if I can verify the others.

Thanks a lot! Very kind of you. So roughly one wins every second time with a hand like that. Worth betting with only one player in...

NO!!!! (or yes, worth betting, but not winning 1 out of 2)

You can win this hand many different ways, back into 2 pair, etc., not just flush/staight. You are a huge favorite over an average hand heads up.

Vs. 0ne pair Q Q 2 6 (no hearts) 75% win

Vs. Two pair A A 2 2 (one heart) you still win 57% of the time!!! Heads up!!!!

Againt A A A K (no hearts) you still will win 48% of the time!!!

And look at this.
Vs. 2 2 2 5 (no hearts), you are favored!!!!!

This hand is so big the only worry is how to get the most money into the pot.
