Is it really the case that nobody cares what the odds of a single or double suited hand flopping a flush draw are? Or, what the probability of our opponent(s) flopping 2 pair are?
Surely, it's a big help in NLHE to know our opponent's only connect with the flop around a third of the time with unpaired hands? So, wouldn't it be useful to know the likelihood or otherwise of being against a 2 pair hand?
If I could learn only one new probability, it would concern the statistical strength of flopping bottom 2 pair... Obviously, we have to make adjustments for how co-ordinated a flop is and the significance of a villain's betting pattern. We know how good our equity with bottom 2 is against top pairs or overpairs in NLHE, so why not in PLO?
