% of hands played?

If you only play 99- AA, AJ-AK suited or not, what % of the total hands are you playing?

Re: % of hands played?

pocket pairs are each C(4,2)=4!/(2! * 2!)=4*3/2=6 combinations
AA-99 is 6 pairs, so 6*6=36 total hands

AK,AQ,AJ are each 4*4=16 combinations, making for 3*16=48 hands

(36+48)/C(52,2)=84/1326=0.0633 or about 6.33%

Re: % of hands played?

Surely you must also factor in the number of hands you will play by virtue of being in the BB when there are no raises.
