lol that works or you could just work out the math, it's nothing beyond basic HS math. Basically it depends how many possible straight flushes there are for example the guy in that hand could have hit 4 while some hands (T6s) only have 1.

As a side note SB played that pretty bad lol.

At best you might hit this hand 2 or 3 times a year depending on how many hands you play.

As zach intimated, a 10-6 is grim, as you'd need 3 exact cards. It all depends on the 2 cards you have. An AK or A3 is even grimmer, cuz you need 3 exact cards. But let's say you had a 69. You need the 78 and the last card could go up or down (5 or 10), thus increasing your odds. If you have mid suited connectors like 67m your odds are a lot better. Gappers and such are key, that's why you see so many different results in Steve's link. :p
