Razz - paired cards
Lets assume that the villain has precisely a 3-card bike hand (three unduplicated cards 5 or lower) on third street. On 4th street the villain catches a 5. What is the probability that the 5 paired the villain assuming that there are 12 bike cards unaccounted for remaining in the deck including the three remaining 5's? Please include the formula, that would help me bunches because I think i calculated this incorrectly. Thanks in advance!

Re: Razz - paired cards
Villain's possible hands, + whether the 5 paired him:
234 - no 235 - yes 245 - yes 345 - yes There's a 75% chance the 5 paired him. (I don't know just what a bike card is, but since you said there are 12 left after 4 were dealt, I assume it means 2, 3, 4, 5) |

Re: Razz - paired cards
a bike is A2345. Theer are 12 bike cards unaccounted for in the deck, 3 of them are 5's. I assumed it would be just 3/12=25% but I dont know if we have to factor in both cards. This comes from a thread in the Stud forum if you want to read it, Betgo's "Big Pot" right at the top of the forum.

Re: Razz - paired cards
Hmm.... possibly the best way is just to count all the possible combinations including suits.
We know he holds the 2 of diamonds. The other potential cards he could hold: three 5s, four 4s, three 3s, two As. A3 x6 - no A4 x8 - no A5 x6 - yes 34 x12 - no 35 x9 - yes 45 x12 - yes That's 27 hands where the 5 pairs him, and 26 hands where it doesn't. 27/53 = there's a 50.94% chance he got paired on 4th street. |

[/ QUOTE ] Right except that there is only 1 ace unaccounted for. The possibilities then become: A3 x3 - no A4 x4 - no A5 x3 - yes 34 x12 - no 35 x9 - yes 45 x12 - yes This gives a probability of pairing the five of 24/43 =~ 55.8%. |

Re: Razz - paired cards
Bruce - pococurante got it right, there are two A's unaccounted for. By using combinations the probability of the villain pairing his 5 is 50.9%.
But now comes the second part of my question, is there a shortcut for calculating this probability on the fly rather than typing out the combinations by hand? |

[/ QUOTE ] Look at the post you mentioned on the Stud forum. Player 1 has the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], player 6 has the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and hero has the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Only the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is unaccounted for. Your statement that there are 12 bicycle cards unaccounted for is incorrect. There are 6 exposed, and since we are told that opponent's first 3 cards are different, we know that he doesn't hold another 2, which leaves 20 - 6 - 3 = 11 bicycle cards.

[/ QUOTE ] Not if you want to take into account the exact cards that are unaccounted for. |

Re: Razz - paired cards
Thanks Bruce, your right there is only one A unaccounted for, I must have made an typo when I tallied up the cards which I carried over here.
so using combinations I have learned that the villain pairs the board 56% of the time assuming he holds any 3-card bike. If we remove the roughest bike hand of (45)2 from his capping range to more accurately represent his likely holdings if he is slightly loose then there is a 39% chance he paired. In the event we open the villain's range to include all but the roughest sixes then there is a 28% chance the villain paired the 5. thanks a bunch for your help! |

Re: Razz - paired cards
Does it make sense to call with bike cards WIHTOUT the Ace, if we see 2 Aces?
I'll have to go read that hand in the Stud forum |
