Comments
2/52+2/51+2/50+2/49+2/48 = 20%, more accurately I think.
Thats fair. Ill scheme up a few bomb pot scenarios to make them less frequent yet still attainable.
I have seen any pot folded to the blinds, next hand is a bomb pot.
This math doesn't make sense to me.
It seems more like it answers the question, how likely is it that the community cards contain either of the 2 designated cards.
More like a 1 in 26 chance of a bomb pot I'd guess. ~4%. Not counting for the motivation some, myself included, may feel towards trying extra hard to win the hand when I happen to have either of the designated cards.
Looking forward to @DataMn correcting both of us
OR
Consider this: if the board contains 5 cards and your hand contains 5 cards then it is ALSO the chance that your hand contains one of the two cards.
And that only considers that only the winner gets shown, ie a single hand. There will be many instances of multiple hands going to showdown so even more chance of a bomb pot card being shown.
Bomb pot card must be in the winning hand, not in a showdown hand.
I was assuming the 2 designated cards had to be hole cards, not just any of the winning 5 card hand. I believe that was the intent.
No, would have to have 6+ for 2nd table.
I dont want to set up 2 tables for short handed play.
Special thanks to g2 for dealing and driving some of the guys back into Cambridge after the game.
Tuesday, December 26th will be PLO-5 again.
