Probably very easy question

I have just started reading Ken Warren's 'Winnder's Guide to Texas Hold'Em Poker' (someone gave me a copy for free) and ran into something that got my attention.

He states "When you have an Ace in the pocket there will be an Ace dealt to at least one other player 74.7% of the time." Now this is obviously ten-handed.

For some reason this number seems high to me, perhaps that is naiive on my part. I would be very interested in hearing if this number is correct, and also how to calculate it.

I've also ran into other statements that I definitely did not agree with, e.g. "Play people with tattoos because anybody stupid enough to get a tattoo will not be a good poker player" and "Play against young people, because even with the internet, etc. you will likely have more experience still." I know I'd love to exploit these two tips when people play against me who have read this book, having tattoos and being young [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
