to Come<br />

With a gut-shot Straight draw and 45 unseen cards, there are<br />

4 cards that will make the Straight and 41 will not.<br />

4 * 41 = 164 is the number of 2-card combinations, one card<br />

of which will make the Straight.<br />

Comb(4, 2) is the number of 2-card combinations that contain<br />

2 cards either of which will make the Straight:<br />

(4 * 3) = 6<br />

(1 * 2)<br />

164 + 6 = 170 possible 2-card combinations that WILL<br />

make the Straight:<br />

Total Possibilities = 990<br />

– WILLs = 170<br />
