Probability of Holding: Pocket Cards in T.H.

#1 21st December 2009, 11:05 PM

I don't know if it is ok to name the book/author of this chart here. This chart has the "Possibility of Holding" (P.H.) a single Ace as one of your pocket cards listed as :14.9% and the "Odds Against" (O.A.) holding a single Ace
as : 3.7 to 1.
When I do the math using the "P.H. of 14.9%" my "O.A." comes out at "6.7114 to 1". To me this is a big difference... so what am I missing here?
Am I not consdering the cards dealt out , or how many hands are being dealt into the game. Or is my math just plain incorrect?
Thank You for your time and consideration,

found a better table. This is in T.H. (pocket cards) probability that you will hold one Ace pre-flop are:
14.93%
the odds against it are:
5.7 to 1
This is from Mike Caro's "'Hold'em- Basic Data' table".
I see that are certain variables that I was not considering in my math , but
my suspicion of the first chart was warrented.
