What is the probability that the flop will give you the flush or the straight if you are holding suited connec

Question

The game is texas holdem. My question refers to straight or a flush. My question doesn't refer to: straight AND flush, just straight, just flush.

Answer 1

Percentage chance of flopping a flush with any two suited cards is 0.84%

(The previous answerer miscounted the number of suited cards left in the deck, so the calculation should have been: 11/50 * 10/49 * 9/48 = 0.0084183)

Percentage chance of flopping a straight with any two consecutive cards between 4 and Jack is 1.3%

Once you go higher or lower there are less ways of making a straight, so the odds go down.

Answer 2

Keep in mind that flopping a flush is not always such a great thing. You have a good chance of another card of the same suit hitting and if your opponent has an ace or king your flush may be second best at that point. Alternatively the opponents may simply be scared out of the pot by a uniform flop and simply give you a small pot. Equally if you flop the low end of a straight and he has the one card above he has seven outs to make a better straight than you by the river.

Answer 3

For flush you would have a .6% chance of hitting on the flop.

10/50 * 9/49 * 8/48 = .006117552

WIth four to the flush post flop you would have an additional 38.71% of completing.

9/47 + 9/46

I'm not touching the st8 suited connectors could be A2, AK, 56 which all will affect the probability.

Answer 4

Actually, the number of players at the table has nothing to do with the question.

My ballpark estimate of your chances to complete a flush on the flop is less than 10%. Not sure about the straight, but I imgaine it's a little higher. After all, a flush is higher than a straight.

Answer 5

I wanted to know this too ... seems like suited connectors are very popular. I think it's 3% better odds of winning when your cards are suited, but I don't know about the two ended straight draw.

Answer 6

Well, you also have to factor in how many people were at the table at the time; more players means your chances are less that the cards you need are still community cards.
