Pre-Flop Match Up's/CardPlayer's Calculator

[dsm]

Hi,

I was checking out CardPlayer Magazine's Odds Calculator for Hold'em and I came across some things concerning pre-flop/heads-up matches I don't understand.

1.) When I match Ad-As vs. Ah-Kh, it says Ah-Kh will win 12.0% of the time. If I calculate the same match-up with different suits (Ad-Ah vs. Ac-Kc) it gives me slightly different results (it says the A-K of clubs wins 12.3%).


2.) Also, when matching up:

A-A vs. A-Ks
A-A vs. A-Qs
A-A vs. A-Js
A-A vs. A-Ts

..it shows that as the suited kicker with the ace gets smaller (King thru ten only), you have a better chance of winning. So supposedly A-10s does slightly better than A-Js against A-A, but even better than A-Ks does against A-A.

Here were the results:

Ad-As vs. Ah-Kh (AKs wins 12%)
Ad-As vs. Ah-Qh (AQs wins 12.5%)
Ad-As vs. Ah-Jh (AJs wins 12.9%)
Ad-As vs. Ah-Th (ATs wins 13.2%)

I was hoping you math guys could explain why. Thanks

It just occurred to me that for question no#2, A-10s probably does better than Aks against A-A because you can make 6 straights with A-10 but only 3 with A-K. If this is the answer, sorry to bother you.

2) more straights

1) random error. They must be generating a bunch of random hands and counting the results. So you could get different results even for an identical pair of hands. (Actually that's pretty crappy.)

(I'm guessing)

There are bugs in their calculator. In General THE forum, someone posted a matchup where someone with set outs was given 0%. Use a better program.

This seems flawless to me. Let me know if you guys see any bugs w/ it.
