Default Re: odds of opponent holding pocket Aces given you holdpocket Kings

Of course, there's no answer to this problem. But if there were, it would look like this:

It's 1 in 40.833.

We get this answer from realizing there are 50 cards left in the deck. There are 4 aces in the deck. (4/50)*(3/49)*5 players remaining = 2.449% of the time, or one out of 40.833 times.

This is all theoretical of course. In real life questions like this don't have answers. Take your question, write it out in cursive and put it under your pillow and hope the statistics fairy leaves you a gleaming silver dollar in the morning.
