Re: Anybody know? What are the chances of Pocket Aces, Kings and Jacks
[ QUOTE ]
okay I get the 221, because you are suppose to get Pocket Aces 1 out of every 221 and Kings every 1 out 221 hands. Not sure if the 221 is hand combinations or what not, but I've heard the number 221 before. How is it 8/221 and 7/221 where did the 8 and 7 come from??? I figured it was .5% at best so .1% makes sense. Thanks for taking time to answer my question, I appreciate the help fellows!

It's a 9-person table so you have 8 opponents. They each have 1/221 to hold AA. The odds of one of them having AA are therefore 8/221. Same goes for KK (7/221)
