6-card PLO: top set with a wrap vs the nut flush draw

All in on the flop on 8s7s2d: 8h8c7h6c5d9d owns 66.5%, and AsKsQhQdJc4h owns 33.5% of the pot. Exact: the engine dealt all 666 possible run-outs.

A six-card hand with top set and a wrap against a hand with the nut flush draw and overcards. The set can fill up on any board pair and the wrap adds straight outs, so the nut flush draw with two overcards is the underdog.

The working

  1. Cards out of the deck. 2 hands × 6 + 3 on the board = 15, which leaves 37 unseen.
  2. Run-outs. 2 board cards to come from 37: C(37, 2) = 666 boards, every one of them dealt.
  3. Exactly two plus three. On each board a hand plays exactly two of its 6 hole cards with exactly three of the five board cards: C(6, 2) × C(5, 3) = 150 five-card hands, and the best of them is its score. Across the deal that is 199,800 five-card hands, each one scored the way the engine scores it.
  4. Equity. A board a hand wins outright is worth 1 pot; a split is worth 1 ÷ the number of hands sharing it. For 8♥8♣7♥6♣5♦9♦: (443 wins + 0 from 0 splits) ÷ 666 = 66.517%.
  5. Check. Every board's pot goes somewhere, so the equities add to 100.000%.

Card by card: the turn

What each hand wins with

Share of all 666 boards that each hand wins outright, by the made hand it shows down. Splits are left out, so each column adds to that hand's win rate, not its equity.

// what is computed, and what is assumed
  • Computed: every possible run-out, dealt from the cards nobody holds, with every hand scored under Omaha rules: the best of all its two-hole-card, three-board-card five-card hands. No sampling, so no error bars.
  • How it is scored: when the page loads, the engine scores every distinct five-card rank pattern and every flush once, into a lookup table the calculator reads. That table is tested against the engine on all 2,598,960 five-card hands, so every comparison is the engine’s own.
  • High only. Omaha hi-lo (eight or better) splits pots between a high and a low hand; that is not computed here, so do not read these numbers for PLO8.
  • Assumed: everyone sees the showdown. Equity is each hand's share of the pot if nobody folds and no more money goes in. In pot-limit that is exact once everyone is all-in; with chips behind it is a starting point, not a verdict.
  • Specific hands only. Omaha ranges hold hundreds of thousands of combinations, so equity against a range is not here.
  • Input: cards as rank then suit, spaces optional: As Ah Ks Kh, or AsAhKsKh. Every hand needs the same number of cards: four for PLO, five or six for the bigger variants.
