For each of these there are 4 * 4 * 4 = 64 possible combinations.<br />

Thus the number of possible 3-card Flops that will<br />

make the Straight is:<br />

4 * 64 = 256<br />

We now have all the numbers needed to calculate the odds of<br />

flopping a Straight with 2 connected cards in the hole:<br />

Total Possibilities = 19,600<br />

– WILLs = 256<br />

WILLNOTs = 19,344<br />

Odds of Flopping a Straight<br />

WILLNOTs : WILLs<br />

19,344 : 256<br />

Reduce<br />

19,344 / 256 : 256 / 256<br />

75.56 : 1<br />

83<br />
