Introduction: When I was playing poker, I was looking for a way to win, to see what the chances are of having the winning hand, so I will investigate the Texas hold'em poker game. The objective of Texas hold'em is the same as in other poker games, individuals compete for a certain amount of money or chips that the players decide for themselves. The cards are dealt randomly and out of the players control by the dealer, each player attempts to control the amount of money in the pot based on either the hand they hold or their prediction of what cards they might hold his adversaries. probability in poker can be calculated. I will discuss the probabilities of many common events in the Texas hold'em poker variation and I will provide some probabilities and odds for specific situations. I will do this in two ways: - The first is to try to determine the number of results that satisfy the condition evaluated and divide this result by the total number of possible results. For example: There are 52 cards used in the game. There are 4 aces. Calculate the chance that the first 2 cards drawn are both aces. - The second method I will use is to calculate probabilities using conditional probability. For example: there are 4 ways to receive an ace out of 52 choices for the first card gives a probability of There are 3 ways to obtain an ace out of 51 choices on the second card after receiving an ace on the first card you get therefore a probability of This value is the conditional probability that the second card dealt is an ace provided that the first card dealt is an ace. To find the overall probability, you take the product of the two p...... middle of paper ...... round of play. 10) Again, the dealer discards a card and places a final card on the table for everyone. see. This is called the river. Players can now combine their own cards with the cards on the table. 11) Now comes the final round of betting starting with the player sitting to the left of the dealer. 12) Players who have not folded now reveal their hands , starting with the player sitting to the left of the last player who called. The players now combine their cards and put them on the table for everyone to see. 13) The player with the best hand wins. If players have the same winning hand, they must split the pot. Texas Hold'em Odds: Table 1.1 shows the odds of a starting hand. Which means it shows the probability, in percentage, of getting a certain card dealt in the first round. So the probability of which card a player gets.
