I beleive its 23/1 to hit runner runner turn card and riv card ?. if so can i win a hand against these odds 4 times in 5 hands ive been 23/1 shotted..
Forgive me if im wrong but have 2 pair on flop and they needed two cards for flush or straight so i do think its 23/1 but community if you dont mind can you put me right if im wrong .

    It depends what "runner runner" you are talking about.

    You are correct that the odds of hitting a runner runner flush are 23/1.

    The odds for hitting a runner runner straight depend on what cards you have on the flop.
    Assuming that you have three consecutive cards in the middle of the pack (e.g. 789) the odds of a runner runner straight are about 21.5/1.
    The odds of hitting other straights are larger.

    It depends on the cards they can hit as to the odds of hitting the cards eg a flush draw they can hit any suited card to make the flush it is not a 22/1 shot if its a 1 outer such as below in a hand I was involved in a month or so back

    I had KK Villain held 33. The flop comes K 3 7 rainbow so the only card they can hit to win is a three
    Im not sure if this changes when you are 6 max or 10 max but this is a 22/1 shot to hit on the turn then a 44/1 to hit on the river if that makes sense.

    Im sure you will get a better "more accurate" explanation by one of the stat specialists

    You say "If so can I" the answer to this is, of course you can the odds dont stop it happening just not very frequently.

    It may well be worth Sky setting a page up with all the stats such as Hand values and draw stats etc its all available on the net but it would be nice to have it on site.

    Here is an old thread with posts on miscellaneous odds.
    If there are any specific other odds that you'd like to know, just ask and I'll try to oblige.

    Many thanks.

    Have to ask though i think it would be a FANTASTIC idea if you did your own page on here through the forum ie novices stats i think it would get so many posts , i know it takes up your time but i for one would really appreciate it.

    Regards jamie

    You're very kind.
    It's not a problem.
    If you or anyone else has any questions about the maths of poker, just add them to the bottom of this thread and I'll bluff my way through it.
