First I hope this is the right place to ask this question, if not it will be moved.
I have two random hole cards, if I see the hand all the way to the river, what are the odds I'll not pair one of my hole cards? Go for it you math gurus out there.
You will be dealt 2 unpaired cards 94.12% of the time
Your 2 unpaired cards will flop a pair 32.4% of the time
Your 2 unpaired cards will flop two pair 2% of the time
Your 2 unpaired cards will have 1 card paired on the turn 12.8% of the time
Your 2 unpaired cards will have 1 card paired on the river 13% of the time
See https://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/various-poker/texas-holdem-probabilities/ for all your probability question including all the math behind it.
Here is another quote I stole from that other forum
'Since you have two unpaired cards, there are 50 unknown cards from which the board cards can come, and 6 of these 50 would pair one of your hole cards and 44 would not. So going card by card on the 5-card board, the probability of NOT pairing at least one of your hole cards by the river is easily seen to be given by:
(44/50) * (43/49) * (42/48) * (41/47) * (40/46) = 130,320,960 / 254,251,200
Subtracting from one yields the desired prob of pairing at least one of your hole cards by the river = 48.7432272%.'
