The Calculations
The odds and probabilities can be calculated at least 2 ways:
1. Combinations — By using the basic combinations
as demonstrated in Chapter 1, The Basic
Calculations and Chapter 4, Odds in Texas Hold’em.
2. Probabilities — The probability of any starting
hand can be determined by multiplying the probabilities
of the individual cards or the probabilities
of the sets that make up the 4-card starting hand.
It will prove easier to combine sets of 2-card combinations
for almost all of these calculations.
