Prob. of a flush: 4.2% / 22 to 1 odds
Prob. of 2 pair or trips: 1.4% / 70 to 1 odds
Now, lets consider str8s:
1) 2 x OE straight (Ex: you have A7 and flop is 56x; you have 3 consec. to str8)
prob of completing: 3.0% / 32 to 1 odds
2) gutshot to OE str8 draw (Ex: you have A7 and flop is 58x; you need a 6 and then its OE)
prob of completing: 1.5% / 66 to 1 odds
3) 2 x gutshot str8 draw (Ex: you have A7 and flop is 59x; you need a 6 & 8)
prob. of completing: 0.5% / 199 to 1
If I'm not mistaken, you can add these separate probabilities.
Best case example: Assuming 2 pair or better is good:
You have A7s
Flop: 5s6hQs
Prob of flush: 4.2%
Prob of 2 pair or trips: 1.4%
Prob of str8: 3.0%
Total probability of hitting a hand: 8.6% Odds: 11-1
Of course, the probability of getting an Ace (if you think TP is good enough) is 12.5% / 7 to 1 odds
I don't know how to do the math to answer: what are the odds of getting either TP, 2 pair, trips, str8 or flush? Maybe someone else can answer that.
