Default How to calculate % of getting called by \"x\" range of hands

I just got pokerstove and been exprimenting. but I need to know the odds of opponent having calling hands like

eg) AA-99, AKs, AQs, AKo

to fully understand/use those ICM calculations

all I know is that odds of you getting any pocket pair is 1/221, and here you have 5 pocket pairs so that would mean 5/221 I'd get called, then I'd have to add AK/AQ etc. and I have no idea where to proceed from here. Please feel free to correct me if I have the wrong idea. thanks

How many ways are there to be dealt any given pair? Any unsuited non-pair hand? Any suited hand? How many of each of these kinds of hands are there?

Default Re: How to calculate % of getting called by \"x\" range of hands

I think it was something like 16 ways for non-pair and 8 ways for pair offsuit, and 4 ways for non pair suited hand
so in this example it would be
8 x 6 pairs = 48 ways
4 x 2 non pair suited hand = 8 ways
16 x 1 non pair suited hand = 16 ways
so that gives me 72 ways ways to be dealt a calling hand, range is 99~AA, AKs/AQs, AKo. am I doing it right so far?

if so, what are the odds of being dealt random hand? if the number was x, would my odd be 72 / x?

thanks

FWIW

There are 6 ways to be dealt a PP
There are 4 ways to be dealt two specific suited cards, i.e. AKs
There are 12 ways be be dealt two specific off-suit cards, i.e. AKo

thanks for those numbers, but after I add all the things up, and get

6 x 6 = 36 ways to be dealt 99-AA
4 x 2 = 8 ways to be dealt AK/AQ suited
12 x 1 = 12 ways to de dealt AKo
so that's 56 ways to be dealt, but out of what?
how do you calculate total ways of being dealt all possible card combination?

Well, how many ways are there of being dealt AA-22? AKs-A2s? AKo-A2o? KQ(s) - K2(s)? etc...

Pokercalculator is a program similar to PokerStove, that shows you the % of overall hands you have selected when you choose a range of hands.

For example, if you put an opponent on AKo/AKs,QQ,KK,AA, it tells me that that represents 34 total hands or 2.5% of all hands.

This program also works for stud and omaha (hi/lo also). I like some features of PokerStove better, but I use this one for the sole purpose of getting the % chance someone has a range of hands, like you mention.
