Lazy Texas Hold’em Odds
?
?There is two things wrong with this picture (video is here, but I'm sure it'll be pulled, so you'll have to find it elsewhere).
The first is that at the top it shows the 9 hearts that the player can still get. Except at the 18 second mark, one of the players folded with a 6 of hearts. So, with the three hearts on the table, the ace in his hand, and the discard, that leaves us with 8 hearts in the deck.
The second issue is that we have 6 players, of which they were dealt 12 cards. There's another 4 on the table, leaving us with 36 cards in the deck.
And 8/36 = 22%. Even if you went with their wrong numbers of 9 hearts for 36 cards, that gives us 25%, not 20%. If it was 7 hearts left, that would be 19%.
Did I miss something? Is there a reason it was calculated at 20%?
