Poker Odds
It doesn't help much to know the chances of being dealt a straight flush
or a full house or even a pair. But it does help to know the odds against
improving any particular hand. The poker odds for the most frequently
encountered situations are given below.
Poker Odds:

| Two to a flush | Flush | 23 to 1 |
| One to two pairs | Full House | 10 3/4 to 1 |
| One to a four-flush | Flush | 4 1/4 to 1 |
If you have a pair and an odd card, under normal conditions the odds against
improving to better than a high pair are 2 1/2 to 1 if you have seen no
card matching either of the ranks you hold, but 3 1/4 to 1 if a card matching
your pair or odd card has appeared. (If two matehing cards have appeared,
you should almost always drop out, the odds against eventual improvement
being prohibitive
