Years ago 50 or so left in $30r FTP I lost a standard flip and was left with like 6 bb or so. Got AJo next hand I'm EP and shove, 2 others both get it in with JJ and QQ. Flop was JQx, and I got running aces to take it down, finished 2nd. Just curious if anyone knew how to calculate the odds of me winning after that flop
You need two aces or a king and a ten to win.
6 ways to get two aces. 16 ways to get a king and a ten. Thus 22 ways to win, out of 43*42/2=903 possible two card combinations.
903-22=881 ways to lose.
Thus odds are 881 to 22 against you, or 881/22=about 40 to 1 against.

You know location of nine cards, AQQQJJJJx. Thus 43 cards have whereabouts in deck unknown.

Hero has an ace. Thus just 3 ways to get two aces. 16 ways to get a king and a ten. Thus 19 ways to win, out of 43*42/2=903 possible two card combinations.
903-19=884 ways to lose.
Thus odds are 884 to 19 against you, or 884/19=about 46.5 to 1 against.
