I have a decent understanding of math and it is really starting to grind my gears that I cant come to the same percentages that are listed online. How would you calculate the percentage of pairing up either card by the river?
Using AK as the hole cards, my take is 6/50 + 6/49 + 6/48 + 6/47 + 6/46. This however would give me roughly 65% chance. I know that can't be right. I have seen other people explain it by taking the chances of each card NOT pairing and multiplying those odds but how come the calculation cannot be done this way? Can someone explain why my method is wrong? Its killing me!!
