what are the odds of ?

does anyone know the odds of any one player getting any two suited cards pre flop ?
what do the odds become that 1 of 2 players has such a hand pre flop ?
Thanks

After you're dealt 1 card, there are 12 left of that suit out of the remaining 51 cards. So, 12/51 = 23.5%.

Yes, so the probability a hand is offsuit is 76.5%. Then (this is slightly wrong because the hands aren't independent, but it's close) the probability at least one of two hands is suited is:

1 - P(both are offsuit)
1 - (.765)*(.765)
1 - .585

= about 41.5%
