Given that I am dealt one card, what are the odds that I will then make a pair either from the next card dealt to me or from the river of 5 cards played out?
I'm thinking something like: given I have one card already, I figure I have a 3/51 chance in getting its pair (ignoring cards being dealt to other players). But I come unstuck when trying to then figure out the next 5 cards in the river.
Would they be cumulative - so 3/51 + (3/50 + 3/49 + 3/48 + 3/47 + 3/46)?
