Message: [QUOTE="KerouacsDog, post: 399556, member: 10398"] 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% [/QUOTE]
