There are 9 people at this table, so 18 hole cards have been dealt. Since there are 47 cards remaining and 9 of them are spades, the next card will be a spade 19% of the time. A deck contains 52 cards, and I can see the 3 in the flop, plus my 2 hole cards. There are 13 spades, I know the location of 4 of them.
Conventional thinking goes something like this…
Let’s say your hole cards are both spades, and 2 more spades come on the flop. It’s a minor statistical anomaly that I’ve been thinking about lately, and yes, I do have way too much time on my hands. I will start by saying this isn’t a game changer either way.
