pocket pair (e.g., you have two tens and you want to know the odds of seeing

the time all 5 board cards are dealt) |
48.7% (1.1 to 1) |
| Making a flush when you have two suited
cards (e.g., if you hold a hand like TJ of hearts this tells you the odds of
seeing at least three more hearts by the time all 5 board cards are dealt) |
6.4% (14.6 to 1) |
| Making full house or quads after you have
flopped trips or a set (e.g., you have two tens and you have flopped the

board cards are dealt) |
