The Math of Putting Someone on a Hand

Somebody once said for ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Chances are this statement was uttered by a guy who just got a wrought iron skillet slammed into his frontal lobe by an angry wife who just learned he spent $10,000 on a big screen television. In Texas Holdem there is generally a reaction when cards are shown on the board. A good flop can neuter some great starting hands. Conversely, an iffy drawing hand can become the nuts if the flop and turn go a player's way.
