I found this in a poker magazine and thought it might be helpful, especially if you can put the other person on a hand pre-flop:
% chance of your pair beating .....
Any lower pair, approx 80%
Any higher pair, approx 20%
Your hand
Pair of sixes/Pair of twos
Against:
AK suited 52%/50%
JT suited 48%/45%
Q5 unsuited 69%/53%
98 suited 50%/45%
54 unsuited 83%/50%
73 unsuited 71%/52%
It's not the greatest-looking of tables, maybe someone can tidy it up a bit, does it make sense to everyone?
For instance, if you hold a pair of sixes, and your opponent has 98 suited, then it's a 50% chance you'll win the hand. Which goes down to 45% if you hold a pair of twos.
Or, if you hold JT suited, and your opponent has a pair of twos, his chance of winning is 45%, so yours is 55%
