Default Re: KK vs AA probabilty in HE

[ QUOTE ]
Let's suppose you have AA at a 10hand table. If the odds for pocket KK are 220 to 1, then would the odds be 22 to 1 (at a 10 hand table) that there are pocket KK when you have AA.????

Close. This is the first time of inclusion-exclusion, and it provides a reasonable approximation to the exact answer. Also, be careful about odds and probabilities -- they're different. The chance that you meant to calculate (not the odds) is 9/221 -- there are only 9 oppos, not 10.
