    Default Probability question

    I was just wondering I was in a six handed game and I was holding qj. A jack came up on the flop. I was wondering what was the probability of someone else holding a jack and a card higher than a queen.
    My attempt?
    A B
    (45/47) +(39/47) ) I am sure that is for the first card. For the second I was not so sure. My guess it would be something like Not A *(B) + Not B(A) multiplying the probability for both cards than raising it to the 6th power. The number of opponents besides me. How wrong am I?

    My domination table will give you odds not counting the queen on the flop, but it also accounts for AA, KK and QQ. So you're at least 85% good here.
