Odds of Flopping an Ace High Flush or Nut Low<br />

or Aces Full<br />

WILLNOTs : WILLs<br />

13,151 : 4,145<br />

Reduce<br />

13,151 / 4,145 : 4,145 / 4,145<br />

3.2 : 1<br />

A23X >>> Nut Low Draw<br />

To flop a nut Low draw with this hand, the Flop needs to<br />

contain 2 unpaired cards below the rank of 9 with 1 and only<br />

1 that may pair the A, 2 or 3 in the hole.<br />

This calculation includes the possibility of flopping a<br />

made nut Low.<br />

There are Comb(20, 2) 2-card combinations from the ranks<br />

4 through 8 and 30 pairs:<br />

(20 * 19) = 190<br />

(1 * 2)<br />

190 – 30 = 160 is the number of 2-card combinations that<br />

will flop a nut Low draw to this hand. This is multiplied by<br />

all of the remaining cards minus the 6 that might counterfeit<br />

one of the Flop cards, 40:<br />

160 * 40 = 6,400<br />

With 6,400 3-card combinations that will flop the nut Low<br />

draw to this hand, the odds are:<br />

Total Possibilities = 17,296<br />

– WILLs = 6,400<br />

WILLNOTs = 10,896<br />
