1 in 40 hands??, PokerDude, 2. Jun 2003 12:01
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I have been doing some computing and want to know if my math is correct.

In hold em, I have calculated, that according to odds, you will have either AA KK QQ AKs AK roughly 1 time in 40 hands.

Is My math correct?

I am a self proclaimed numbers geek and love twisting out numbers and want to know if I am doing it right. I would be interested in a similiar # on helmuth's omaha8 hands.

I don't think that I have been getting my fair share ;-)

No AA in ten hours? Rough times ... lol. Sometimes you get so many bad hands, ... all in a row, that you can honestly state that the last time there were this many bad hands in one place was the Shoplifter's Convention in Las Vegas ... :)

Good one. Yeah, it has been running like that for me the past few sessions. Trying my best to keep robofolding and just lose blinds, but its tough (especially when the table looks so juicy).
