What is the probability of holding two cards of the same suit?

Thus the total probability to get two cards of the same suit is 4*1/17=4/17.

What is the probability of drawing two cards of the same suite in a row from a standard deck of 52 cards?

The first card picked has a 13/52 chance of being in some suit. The second card picked has probability 12/51 of being in the same suit. So… The probability should be (13/52)(12/52)=3/52.

What are the odds of two people having the same hand in poker?

It is unlikely to happen but it happens. Which in percentage gives you a probability of 0.0754% for this event to happen once. From here you can multiple this by the number of times the event/same hands occurred.

What happens if two players have the same cards in poker?

If two or more players have the same hand the high card determines the winner. For straights or flushes, the highest top card is declared the winner. For one pair and two pair hands, the highest kicker wins. If players have the same 5-card hand, it is a tie and the pot is split equally.

What is the probability of drawing 2 red cards with replacement?

Once you draw a red card, there are 25 remaining red cards in the remaining 51 cards, so the probability of drawing the second red card is 25/51. The probability of drawing two red cards is the product of these probabilities, or 1/2*25/51 = 25/12, or about 24.51%.

What is the probability of drawing an ace a 2 and a 3 without replacement?

For the first ace, the probability would be 4/52, or 1/13. (without replacement) For the second ace, the probability would be 3/51 or 1/17. (with replacement) For the second ace, the probability would be 4/52 or 1/13. (without replacement) The product of these would be 1/221 or about .

What if 2 players have the same straight?

If two players have a straight, then the highest card wins. A “flush” consists of five non-consecutive cards of the same suit.

How are probabilities updated in a bridge hand?

The idea is that we can specify a likely distribution of cards (values) in a bridge hand as an a priori probability and update the probabilities to an a posteriori probability as new ‘evidence’ appears in the form of bidding and card plays.

Which is better to play, 75% probability or 34% probability?

In very simple terms, declarer has a 75% probability to find the ♣ King and ♣ Queen split or nicely placed with the left-hand opponent. Which is better to play, a 75% probability or a 34% probability? The question can be made more interesting if declarer holds ♦A-Q-J-5-4.

How is success dependent on the distribution of cards?

Success is dependent upon the distribution of opponent’s cards, and in the absence of other information (evidence) players need to identify the most probable route to success. It is important to understand the basics of probability before looking at them as applied to bridge hands. Here are two little tests.

What is the priori probability of making two finesses?

Based upon a priori probabilities, declarer has three options. Option A – to use the ♠J and ♠10 as entries to make two successive finesses of ♥A-J-10. This has an a priori probability of success of 75% for one of the two finesses.
