contain an Ace, and multiply that number by the number of<br />

remaining unseen Aces, resulting in the total number of possible<br />

3-card combinations that will contain at least an Ace.<br />

Subtract the 2 cards in the hole and the 3 remaining Aces,<br />

leaving 47 unseen cards none of which are Aces, then use<br />

Comb(47, 2):<br />

(47 * 46) = 1,081<br />

(1 * 2)<br />

With 1,081 possible 2-card combinations that contain no<br />

Aces and 3 remaining Aces unseen, the number of possible<br />

3-card Flops that WILL flop at least a pair of Aces is<br />

3 * 1,081 = 3,243<br />

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

flopping at least a pair of Aces with AJ in the hole:<br />

Total Possibilities = 19,600<br />

– WILLs = 3,243<br />

WILLNOTs = 16,357<br />

Odds of Flopping at Least AA<br />

WILLNOTs : WILLs<br />

16,357 : 3,243<br />

Reduce<br />

16,357 / 3,243 : 3,243 / 3,243<br />
