3. Odds in Texas Hold’em<br />

Axs Combinations (WILLs) = 48<br />

Total Possibilities = 1,326<br />

– WILLs = 48<br />

WILLNOTs = 1,278<br />

WILLNOTs (1,278) : WILLs (48)<br />

1,278 : 48<br />

Reduce<br />

1,278 / 48 : 48 / 48<br />

26.6 : 1<br />

The probability of Axs in the hole is<br />

WILLs<br />

* 100 = Probability as %<br />

Total Possibilities<br />

48<br />

1,326<br />

* 100 = 3.6%<br />

On average you will be dealt Axs once in 27.6 hands or<br />

roughly 3.6% of the time.<br />

Any 2 Suited<br />

that you will be dealt 2 suited cards is equal to the<br />

probability that the suit of the second card will match the<br />

suit of the first:<br />

WILLs<br />

* 100 = Probability as %<br />

Total Possibilities<br />

12 * 100 = 2.1%<br />

To convert this probability to odds:<br />
