Hey, so I want to start learning the math side of things in poker and the first thing I want to do is learn how to calculate what the odds are in hitting a set on the flop if you have a pocket pair.....once I understand how this calculation works I can work out everything else....but I need some help because I terrible at maths and I dont understand the 'algebra' or whatever the (/&*) means in calculations....what are they and how do they work?..... Example which I copied and pasted ....... The formula you then get is: 1 - (48/50)*
(47/49)*(46/48) = 11.75 %, which
translated into odds is about 7.5 to 1.
......
What does this mean and how would I calculate this in my calculator.....a basic explanation would be great because I am a dummy when it comes to maths.....thanks
