What are the odds of top two pair vs. bottom set, with no flush or straight possibilities? At work and can't get any calculators to come up online.

Thanks

An easy way to figure it out without the help of any calculators is to use the simple method you should use to calculate pot odds for all your hands:

Figure out how many outs your opponent has on you. In this case, there are 4 cards left in the deck that can help him. Multiply that by 2 for each chance he has to catch one of those cards. So in this case 4 outs X 2 for the turn and 2 for the river = 16. So he has a 16% chance of beating you.

As you can see in the previous post, that estimate is pretty close to the actual computed value. You can use this method for most simple poker calculations like flush draws etc.
