42 1
36 + 16 = 52 offsuit hands
each dealt 12 ways
52 + 12 = 624
52 * 51 / 2 = 1326 total hands
624 / 1326 ~= 0.47% won't play
Will play 53%
Well done that man, I owe you a cookie!
I'd actually guessed the correct answer from experiance at 6max, these cards must make up the starting hands of a lot of 6max players and I'm not sure what other possible crap they play because some see >70% of the flops...
These players are dealing me a lot of Bad beats, it gets very frustrating, but on the days where my cards stand up I make a fortune...
I'm currently using the same process you used to calculate what my VPIP out of the blinds should be roughly long term by calculating my starting hands in certain positions.
Got way to much time on my hands . . .
Thats a good question man. I haven't read any of the replies, so let me think about this.. That is pretty close to how I play the 6-man tables, where I'm seeing about 40% of the flops..Quote:
