Suited Connectors<br />

These are the connectors that will make a Straight when<br />

combined with 3 cards in either or both directions.<br />

There are 7 ranks and 4 suits so 7 * 4 = 28 possible suited<br />

connectors 45 through TJ from 1,326 total possible 2-card<br />

combinations:<br />

Suited Connectors 45 through TJ (WILLs) = 28<br />

Total Possibilities = 1,326<br />

– WILLs = 28<br />

WILLNOTs = 1,298<br />

WILLNOTs (1,298) : WILLs (28)<br />

1,298 : 28<br />

Reduce<br />

1,298 / 28 : 28 / 28<br />

46.4 : 1<br />

The probability of suited 45 through TJ in the hole is<br />

WILLs<br />

* 100 = Probability as %<br />

Total Possibilities<br />

28 * 100 = 2.1%<br />

1,326<br />

On average you will be dealt one of these sets of suited connectors<br />

once in 47.4 hands or roughly 2.1% of the time.<br />

Any Suited Ace — Axs<br />

There are 12 Ax combinations for each of the 4 suits,<br />
