What are the Odds? - The Mathematics of Poker

Dela

A friend's story leads Pete and Noah to dive into the high-stakes world of poker to settle a debate: does a flush really beat a straight? Using the tools of combinatorics and probability, our hosts break down the math behind five-card hands and explore how the hierarchy of the game is built upon the frequency of outcomes.  Ante up…  the next hand is about to begin!

Questions Answered in the Episode:
• How do you calculate the total number of possible five-card poker hands from a 52-card deck?
• What are the mathematical odds of being dealt a flush versus a straight in poker?
