which hand is better?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS A BETTER HAND HEADS UP. ACE/7 VS. Q/8. I WANT TO EXCLUDE STRAIGHT AND FLUSH PROBABITLITES. MY FIGURE WAS THE Q/8 A ROUGHLY 65% CHANCE OF WINNING. CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THE EXACT NUMBERS. THANKS FOR THE HELP.

Re: which hand is better?

Why would you want to exclude flushes and straights, are you proposing new hand rankings like BruceZ??? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Including flushes and straights, A7o beats Q8o 58% of the time. Since Q8 makes straights more easily (ie 4 of them dont have to be on the board!) obviously A7 is even stronger ignoring straights. Your 65% for Q8 is way off.
