Hey guys:) I've been posting a lot In here because I been lost with the math side T_T

Anyway I was watching some poker after dark. You know with the amazing Durrr ( don't worry I know he has a LAG style and I'm still working on TAG)
But moving on I watching this one hand
Board: 6c8s3h
Hero: 7h2h
Villain: Kd3c

It said our hero had 21% (roughly) how they got that number is where I get confused. I tried using the hand odds thing. Like unseen cards to your outs. And the rule of 4 and 2 but it doesn't come out right.
So can anyone explain to me how they got it it would be great

Thanks for any replies :)

Its roughly 20.91% for hero ;)

Hero has to hit 7 or a 2 or back door straight outs like 5 and a 9 or 5 and a 4.
so hero has 6 outs(a 7 or 2) and maybe equivalent of 1 or 2 with backdoor outs, but villain has redraws if hero hits a 7 villain can hit a King. so approx about 5 - 6 outs.

When you multiply by 5 x 4 ( 4 and 2 rule) works out about 20%.

When using rule of 4 and 2 its usually used when you have : -
2 overs (6 outs)
Up n down straight or double gutter (8outs)
Flush Draw (9) outs

PS on TV they sometimes get different answer to what you get with Poker calculators as they take into account folded cards by other players.

As you dont get to see folded cards Poker Calculators dont take them into account as you cant enter what you can't see

That makes more sense thanks:) but how can the 2 be an out because that still won't be beating the villain's bottom pair

oops didnt realise they had hit their 3.

They do have a backdoor flush which adds around 4%
Backdoor straights 4 & 5, 5 & 9, 9 & Ten
a 7 and even runner runner 2 2

Not sure of the breakdown of above but they all add up :)

Cardshat has its own calcualtor and there are quite a few online although not sure if any breakdown the hand into all the backdoor equities

Also one of the members has a free equity calculator on his website

3 outs with a back door straight on the flop comes out to 4:1 against, so about 21%

79% of cards corresponds villain means 21% corresponds to the hero. Mathematics is easy :)

how do you get 79% for villain

37 outs for villain gives him a 79% chance of winning and 8 outs for hero gives him a 21% chance of winning.Do you understand now?

Wasn't like 5 outs? Because the 4 and 2 rule gives apprx 21%

I have a simple solution to this, if you're not the nuts, fold.

If I'm 20% to hit the lotto today, and 20% to hit the lotto tomorrow, does that make me 40% to hit the lotto. I think not. This math is wrong made right.

wait... im not sure about this but please correct me if im wrong....

one deck has 52 cards.... i have 2 hole cards that i see...
if the flop is out, that's an added 3 cards... so i now see 5 cards that leaves me with 47 unknown cards.
if at that point i have 9 outs, does it mean my odds of hitting my outs will be 9/47=19.15%?
and if the turn is shown, there will be 46 unknown cards left which will put my odds at 9/46 = 19.57%?
just wondering if this makes sense. :)

correct on both for percentages :)

If you want to calculate it in odds its Bad Cards divided by Good Cards
So in your flush draw on the flop 47 unknown. There are 38 Bad Cards and 9 good cards ( your flush outs)
Odds are 38/9 ~ 4.222 to 1

Here's how you figure this: your probability of hitting is 0.2 for each day. However, these events aren't mutually exclusive since you might hit on both days.

Pr(both)= 0.2 X 0.2= 0.04
Pr(each day)= 0.2
Pr(hit)= 0.2 + 0.2 - 0.04= 0.36 or 36%

Event A OR Event B means add probabilities.
Event A AND Event B means multiply probabilities.

If the events aren't mutually exclusive then subtract the probability that both occur from the sum of the individual probabilities.

OMG your a god. I've been so confused on how a flush draw gave odds of 4-1 and not 5-1. See I kept seeing and hearing it was unknown to known cards. So like there is 47 cards left that won't help and 9 that will. But I didn't know you also have to take 9 out from the 47. Thanks so much <3

your welcome :)
the 4-1 and 5-1 you mentioned, you are probably getting confused between odds and probabilities.

The probability is 9 flush cards out of 47 cards remaining which is approximately 1 in 5.

I used to struggle with this and the best example is rolling a dice.
to roll a 6 is 1 out of 6 (probability) or 5 to 1 odds

to roll a 5 or 6 is 2 out of 6 or 1 in 3(probability) and the odds are
bad dice (4) divided by good dice (2) 4/2 is 2 to 1

No I'm 20% today, and again tomorrow I'm 20%. My odds never go above 20%.

you didn't read my reply properly

I said you was 36% to win on one of the 2 days not 36% to win on an individual day
