i reckon that might be for 5 card draw poker hands, not holdem where its 5 from 7, but i'll stand corrected.

quick googling did the trick. here are the odds for 7 card hands (i.e holdem)

Royal flush 30,939 : 1
Straight flush 3,216 : 1
Four of a kind 594 : 1
Full house 37.5 : 1
Flush 32.1 : 1
Straight 20.6 : 1
Three of a kind 19.7 : 1
Two pair 3.26 : 1
One pair 1.28 : 1
No pair 4.74 : 1

with 7 cards, there are actually 21 different 5 card combinations you can have. so the numbers above are the 5 card numbers divided by 21.

it is also interesting to note that it is more likely to get 2 pair than it is to get no pair!

so benny the cunt, what you're saying is the odds Edith posted are entirely correct....


but only if you flop the hand in question...

if you wanna look at it that way, yes.

bit of maths here:

using the combination formula Image

there are 52C7 = 133, 784, 560 different 7 card hands possible in a deck of cards.

of those, 4 are 7 card royal flushes.

therefore the odds are 4:133784560, or 1 in 33,461,400!!!
