    Default Simple Question looking for a simple answer

    I searched for it on FTR but couldn't find it, it's probably buried somewhere.

    Using Pokerstove, I calculated the total number of possible hand combinations an opponent could have and it came out to 72 non PP hands and 16 ways to make each so 72 multiplied by 16=1152 and 13 PP and 6 ways to make each so 13 multiplied by 6=78. That comes out to 1152+78=1230.

    However, on Poker1.com's Odds page it lists 1326. It's on the bottom.

    What's wrong?
    What's the difference between a large cheese pizza and a poker player?

    A large cheese pizza can feed a family of four.

    169 possible starting hands in the pocket.
    Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!

    There are 78 non-PP starting hands, not 72. 16 ways to make each. 78 * 16 = 1248
    There are 13 PP with 6 ways each. 13 * 6 = 78

    1248 + 78 = 1326.

    Thanks. 1326 it is then.
