To find the total number of 4-card combinations that contain<br />

exactly 2 Aces, multiply the number of 2-card combinations<br />

that WILL contain 2 Aces (6) by the number of 2-card<br />

combinations that WILLNOT contain any Aces (1,128):<br />

6 * 1,128 = 6,768<br />

The probability of 2 and only 2 Aces in the pocket in Omaha<br />

Hi-Lo expressed as a percentage is:<br />

WILLs<br />

* 100 = Probability as %<br />

Total Possibilities<br />

6.768 * 100 = 2.5%<br />

270,725<br />

To find the odds of a pair of Aces in the hole in Omaha Hi-Lo:<br />

Total Possibilities = 270,725<br />

– WILLs = 6,768<br />

WILLNOTs = 263,957<br />

WILLNOTs (263,957) : WILLs (6,768)<br />

263,957 : 6,768<br />

Reduce<br />

263,957 / 6,768 : 6,768 / 6,768<br />

39 : 1<br />

Before the Flop<br />

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

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

determine the total possible 3-card Flops from the<br />

remaining 48 unseen cards — Comb(48, 3):<br />
