View Full Version : Odds question


08-08-2002, 09:49 AM
Hi,


can someone please give me the odds for these staringhand-confrontations (letīs say all in preflop, so all cards will be dealt)


a) Two high cards against two lower cards (e.g. AK vs. 87)


b) One high and one low card against two middle cards (e.g. K5 against 87)


I understand that it makes a difference, whether the cards are suited and/or connected, but it should just be a rule of thumb (like overcards against smaller pair is ~ 1:1)


Thanks


Tom

Tom,


Can't give you a rule of thumb, but like any newbie I can run a simulation.


1. AcKs vs. 8d7h : AcKs wins 62% of the time.


2. Kc5s vs. 8d7h: Kc5s wins 55% of the time
