That really surprises me that they are all true because if I keep the hands that you show as favored I usually get beat. I will pay attention to those and see how they do. Thanks for the info.

lol, i had a feeling u were pulling sumthin tricky like that... i must admit though, i voted for a couple of them... i'm surprised 10,7s beats aces more than k,qs but after thinking about it, i can see why

I can see that most of them will be favored because of a possible straight or flush or something like that. but i still don't get how pkt 3s can beat pkt As more than pkt Ks can.

Why is that hard to believe hman?...tripp 3's will beat a pair of Aces just as easy as tripp K's will and the same thing goes for quads. The difference is that if K makes a straight, the A will be a higher straight and on the low end...if you have a 2-6 or a 3-7 str8 the Ace can't beat it and any wheel will still be a wheel with 33 the times that a 3rd Ace is on board. In the examples given the suits were different...but if they were the same..then you could apply str8 flushes to the same principle and K would always lose to A with a flush or str8 flush.

papokergod...odds are always figured on unknown cards...therefore it makes no difference if they hit the muck pile or are in someone elses hand...the same is true as to how many are delt.

Nice quiz - am surprised about AA being more likely than AKs but the math holds up . AA is (4/52)*(3/51) as oppossed to AKs 8/52 (any a or K) * 1/51 - 12 combinations as opposed to 8

Why does AdQd beat 4s4c more often than AdKd?
