Today's Contest...
I'm going to ask a simple poker question in this thread sometime today. The first person to post the correct answer will win. Simple enough?

Today's "money" question is going to have to do with counting outs. It will not be posted for at least a few hours (to give people a chance to see this).
Here's a warmup question, just for fun. No money prize here, just bragging rights: Exactly how many different combinations of turn/river cards are there in a Heads Up situation in Hold'Em? In other words, if someone needs to hit perfect-perfect runner-runner to make a straight flush (for example), what are their chances? |

990 possible turns/rivers
.1% to make the runner runner SF or 989:1

(45 possible turn cards*44 possible river cards)/2 (to account for the same two cards in reverse order)= 990 (possible two cards combinations)
7 cards are already out after the flop

If a correct answer to the $ Question is posted (and not edited) in LESS than 5 minutes from the time I post the question, the winner will get $20.
If it takes 5 minutes or more for the correct answer to be posted, the winner will receive $10. Either way, I'll transfer the money to your account. The official question will be posted sometime tonight between 8 PM and 12 AM ET. I'll post a smaller time range later. I hope you know your outs! |
