Recently I have just starting to play SNGs seriously, having played them more or less for fun for the year I've been playing poker. In order to make all-in decisions easier I have made some calculations using twodimes to get the odds of various hands winning in the various heads up situations that are out there. Hopefully others will find it helpful. If I've missed any feel free to post.

(A quick note on the notation, I've given the odds:1 of the first hand winning heads up except for the few exceptions where the first hand is a dog which are noted, the numbers in parenthesis give the odds if the second hand are suited. I also give the specific hand matchup used for the test for that category.)

Overpair versus: (AA vs 9x)
<ul type="square"> connector 4.3 (3.42)
1 gap 4.7 (3.67)
2 gap 5.1 (3.95)
3 gap 5.8 (4.34)
4 or higher gap 6.7 (4.84)
underpair 4[/list]
