More isn't necessarily better. :-) I must have double-counted compared to what they were doing.
I will have to get back to you... it is past midnight here and my brain has turned into a pumpkin! EDIT: Yeah, I double-counted - I took AsAc to be different than AcAs, for instance. If you don't care which card you get first, then divide all my numbers by 2. If they said 28 out of 1326, that's the same as my 56 out of 2652. Last edited by MathBabe; 01-28-06 at 12:17 AM. |

Bingo. It doesn't matter which card is on the left or right (online) or on top or on the bottom (live). It's the two card combo that counts.
Well done, MB. |

Um, there is 220 possible starting hands according to what ive been told, but my answer sucks a bit as ive just realised it lists AK and AK suited as only 2 hands, so thats where my 3 comes from, a bit confusing but the 220 system works for me i think. Sorry to confuse people byt his, ignore me from now on, my odds are all fucked up.

There are 169 unique starting hands if you don't care about suits (meaning AK=1, AKs=1, AKo=1).
The chances of being dealt AA (or any given PP) are 220:1. Maybe that's what you are thinking of. |
