Derivations For Starting Hands With No Pair
Starting hands with no pair (XYZR) can improve when two or three of the remaining X, Y, Z or R cards (XX or XXX) appears on the board. These hands can make two pair or a full house when two of more ranks from the hand appear (XY or XXY). They also can make three of a kind or a pair if two or three other ranks (ss or sss) appear, although these boards are likely to improve other hands at least as much. The following tables show all the ways for XYZR to make four of a kind, a full house, three of a kind, two pair, one pair or no pair (high card) on the flop, turn and river.

Famous quotes containing the words starting, hands and/or pair:
“He will be starting pretty late.
Hell find that Asiatic state
Is about tired of being looted
While having its beliefs disputed.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Not the less does nature continue to fill the heart of youth with suggestions of his enthusiasm, and there are now men,if indeed I can speak in the plural number,more exactly, I will say, I have just been conversing with one man, to whom no weight of adverse experience will make it for a moment appear impossible, that thousands of human beings might exercise towards each other the grandest and simplest of sentiments, as well as a knot of friends, or a pair of lovers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
