God Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Lets say you are playing poker playing against 2 other people. Everyone gets 2 cards first and your 2 cards are a pair of X's. 5 more cards are going to come in the middle, and I want to find the probability of getting a full house. would you agree that these are the possible combinations of 5 cards?: YYYKM XYYKM YYYKK XYYKK XYYYK Where X is the rank of card that i have a pair of in my hand, Y, K and M is any other rank. from each of those combinations i find the amount of combinations possible. eg: for XYYKM i would do 13C1 x 2C1 x 12C1 x 4C2 x 11C2 x 4C1 x 4C1 = 1,647,360 possible combinations And when i add all of them up, i would get 1,857,024. Can anyone please just tell me if i am doing it correct? because i think in my answer i havent actually considered 4 cards missing from the other 2 people.
