Poker odds 04: 5-draw + joker, two cards to trips (a)

Note: All odds tables at Poker1.com were personally calculated by Mike Caro, unless otherwise specified. Many were done in the early 1970s and included in the original Doyle Brunson Super/System — A Course in Power Poker, first published in 1978.

At the time of publication, there were few, if any, reliable sources for poker odds. The 50 often-cited tables stood the test of time and remain unchallenged to this day.
