How do I calc for THoldem the following:
KK vs QQ, we look at flop, rags no help to either hand,
I know that KK on with this flop wins 91.57%
QQ will win with this flop 8.43%

I want to convert the percentage too comparative odds x to x ie 4to1 or 11to1
Sorry such a basic question..
I don't just want the answer, but the calculation to compare the two... with 2 cards to come....
I understand that outs for the QQ and basically equals 11 to 1 with 2 cards to come, provided the KK doesn't improve.
So is that the answer the QQ is a 11 to 1 underdog?

Stil want to know how to calc. it...
Do I simply divide 8% into the 92%???
Any help appreciated......

Right. The odds are 91.57 to 8.43 = 10.9 to 1.

So as I asked you simply divide the percentages into each other.... to determine odds.....

Correct. Odds means number of wins for one hand to number of wins for other hand. Percent expresses the same thing, out of 100 hands. 91.57% means I win 91.57 hands out of 100. 8.47% means you win 8.47 out of 100. The odds are then 91.57 to 8.47 in my favor. You can always reduce this as something "to 1" by just dividing one into the other. If I win 4 and you win 2 for 4-2 odds, obviously that's the same as If I win 2 and you win 1 for 2-1 odds. If I win 80 and you win 20 for 80-20 odds, that's the same as saying I win 4 and you win 1 for 4-1 odds.

Going the other way, say the odds are 8-1 against me. That means out of 9 plays, I win 1, so I win 1/9 of the time which is 11.1%
