Stolen from the desk of David Sasseman

Probability That None Of Your Opponents Match Their Hole Card On The Flop.

Number of Opponents VS. Flop Does Match Hole Card

1 0.65

2 0.40

3 0.25

4 0.15

5 0.10

6 0.05

Some conclusions:

(1) Against four to five foes it is certain someone has flopped something. That is why it is ‘fit or acquit’ / ‘hit or miss’ poker. (2) When playing against one to two players, it is +EV to the flop. Heads-up, two out of three times your opponent will miss the flop. Two out of three times you miss the flop. One in three time you will hit the flop. Four out of nine times you both miss the flop. Knowing this, when playing short handed hold’em (and if you know what range of hands your opponent will call you with), you can exploit almost all players.

(Flop is unpaired. Your hole cards are unpaired. You must consider your opponent will have a pocket pair sometime.)

Are pockets pairs as good (or as bad) as you think?

Up against an overpair? Well we knew that was bad, but looks like you can still expect to get lucky just under one in four hands. Check out the chart below and see if anything surprises you.

I had outs!

Just because you had outs, doesn’t mean it was a good decision.

Poker journalist and friend David Sasseman has turned me on to a few useful statistics to post next to my online gambling machine (computer.) Allow me to share:

Those pocket rockets only have a one in three chance of holding up to a full table, so get those ugly mugs to fold pre-flop I say! Over all good, reference material, thanks David!

More to come.
