5. Odds in Omaha Hi-Lo<br />

Unpaired Hole Cards >>> Board Will Show a Pair<br />

There are 9 cards than can pair one of the three board cards<br />

and 36 will not.<br />

9 * 36 = 324 is the number of 2-card combinations, one card<br />

of which will pair the board.<br />

Comb(9, 2) is the number of 2-card combinations that contain<br />

2 cards either of which will pair the board:<br />

(9 * 8) = 36<br />

(1 * 2)<br />

In addition there are 57 pairs that can also come to create a<br />

pair on the board.<br />

324 + 36 + 57 = 417 possible 2-card combinations that<br />

WILL pair the board:<br />

Total Possibilities = 990<br />

– WILLs = 417<br />

WILLNOTs = 573<br />

Odds the Board Will Pair with 2 Cards to Come<br />

WILLNOTs : WILLs<br />

573 : 417<br />

Reduce<br />

573 / 417 : 417 / 417<br />

1.4 : 1<br />

WILLs<br />

* 100 = Probability as %<br />

Total Possibilities<br />

417 * 100 = 42%<br />

990<br />
