				  A question of probability
			
			
					
					
			
				
					
						Here's one that I read about elsewhere on the web. 
 
I apologize for the notation I am using but it is simple enough. 
Here are the two relevant hands: 
 
Hero: Q-Q 
Villain A-Q 
 
Flop: 5-6-Q 
 
The question is what are the odds on the next two cards being the aces that Villain needs to win? 
 
The estimates I have seen range from 22-1 to 400-1, and another estimate from an odds tool that suggested Villain has a 0.95% chance to win. (The point being that he did draw the cards he needed.) 
So what are the odds? Your thoughts please.
