Odds of certain events on the flop in Texas Hold ‘em
I’ll probably make this a recurring post, because while the number of events that can occur on the flop is not infinite, there are certainly more than any one person can hope to grasp in a single sitting. So, for now, here’s a couple things to think about as you decide which hands to play pre-flop:
| When Holding... | Hitting on the Flop | Odds Against |
|---|---|---|
| Pocket Pair | 3-of-a-kind | 7.5 to 1 |
| AK | An Ace or King | 2.1 to 1 |
| KK | An Ace showing | 4 to 1 |
| Two suited cards | Two more the same suit | 7.5 to 1 |
