After the Flop Hand After River Card Odds<br />

Gut-shot St Draw Straight 5.07 : 1<br />

Open St & 4 Flush Straight or Flush .85 : 1<br />

1 Pr & Open St Draw Set or Straight 1.55 : 1<br />

1 Pr & 4 Flush Set or Flush 1.35 : 1<br />

2 Pair Full House or Better 5.1 : 1<br />

Set Full House or Better 1.95 : 1<br />

2 Unpaired Cards Pair or Better 3.1 : 1<br />

To make these calculations, find the number of total 2-card<br />

combinations from the unseen 47 cards — 1,081.<br />

To find the WILLs, add the number of possible 2-card combinations<br />

that will contain 1 and only 1 of the available outs<br />

to the number of 2-card combinations that will contain 2<br />

out cards.<br />

1 Pair >>> Set or Better<br />

With a Pair, 2 of the unseen 47 cards will make a Set.<br />

Thus, 2 * 45 = 90 is the number of 2-card combinations that<br />

will make a Set, including some that will also make a Pair,<br />

thus making a Full House.<br />

There is 1 2-card combination that is the Pair of the paired<br />

cards that will make Quads.<br />

In addition, there are 9 possible pair combinations that will<br />

make a Full House to the Pair by making a Set with one of<br />

the 3 unpaired cards.<br />
