The Calculations<br />

These calculations will use both the comparison of sets and<br />

the combination of probabilities.<br />

The total number of possible different 3-card Flops will be<br />

used throughout these calculations. With your 4 hole cards,<br />

the total possible 3-card Flops from the remaining 48 cards<br />

is Comb(48, 3):<br />

(48 * 47 * 46) = 17,296<br />

(1 * 2 * 3)<br />

Another number that will useful in these calculations is the<br />

number of 2-card combinations possible from the<br />

remaining unseen 48 cards — Comb(48,2):<br />

AA23<br />

(48 * 47) = 1,128<br />

(1 * 2)<br />

AA23 is probably the best starting hand in Omaha Hi-Lo.<br />

The odds of its improvement in either direction are better<br />
