Poker Odds Aa Vs 72
Probably as much as any single other thing, we have to concern ourselves with probabilities that involve Aces. If we are holding a strong Holdem hand like a pair of Kings or Queens or similar starting hands with non-ace high cards, we usually don't want to see an ace flop.
Many players that are normally careful about playing only good hands will evaluate starting hands with an ace very liberally. For example, a player who would almost never play a K 6 off suit from an early position might look for excuses to play the hand if it had an Ace instead of a King. Players often hang on to aces even when they probably shouldn't.
These frequency charts can give you some insight into how often aces can impact certain parts of your game.
Pair of Aces
The odds against your being dealt a Pair of Aces are 220 to 1. In percentage terms, it is .45% for the pair and 99.55% against.
The next two charts show the probabilities of a pair of aces being dealt to various numbers of opponents.

Notice how difficult it is to get a pair of aces in the hole. Even with nine players at the table and no ace in your hand, only 41 (4.1%) of the 1000 hands dealt will have have a pair of aces.
Sorry if this is a duplicate. It's my first post.
I called all-in with JJ against what turned out to be KQ. I'm wondering what the KQ's odds were of pairing up, and also pairing up or better? The equation(s) would be great. Thank you.
Was the KQ suited? You have two cards that will improve your hand, your opponent has six draws to get an overpair. Usually, I see this analyzed at 51/49 with the pair in the lead pre-flop, but I haven't run the numbers.
The Wizard has a hand analyzer here: http://wizardofodds.com/games/texas-hold-em/calculator/
If the KQ are unsuited, and neither of the suits in the JJ,the odds are 56.72%/42.95% so the lead is actually a little better.
Against a suited KQ that is neither of the suits in the JJ, the odds are narrower at 53.34%/46.27%.
I called all-in with JJ pre-flop against what turned out to be KQ. I was wondering, if the game were on TV, what they would show as the percentage chances of winning for each hand (all other hands folded). Thank you.
Welcome to the forum, w261!I think Aye has answered your question sufficiently, but you mentioned poker on TV. I haven't watched televised poker in a while, but since they have hole card cams at every seat, they know the folded cards. I believe they adjust the percentages they show the viewers based on that knowledge.
So, you could see this very hand on TV, and the percentages be different than what the Wizard's calculator shows. But for your case, where nobody that's still in the hand knows what was folded, the percentages Aye gave you would be correct.

It's been my (non-expert) observation over the last couple WSOP's that they do not consider folded hands in the calculation. The commentators mention that, as in 'well, they're showing 56% vs. 43%, but we did see JoePoker fold that one king...' . Perhaps other coverage does account for folded hands in their displayed edges, but WSOP will show outs that we already saw folded, so I'm pretty sure they just go by the math.
