Poker Odds Question

JimmyHoJimmyHo
in General Poker Chat
not sure if this makes any sense, but I was asked if it is possible to determine your odds of winning with any two starting cards, disregarding your opponent's cards. One of my friends, who is a blackjack player, asked this question about texas holdem but I don't think it is relevant to this game (unlike blackjack). All the odd calculators I have seen require you to compare your starting cards to your opponents. Does this type of odds table exist?

    I think if you use poker academy pro, it allows you to select an "any random hand" analysis, or at the very least it will rank the hands in strength order.

    pokerstove will allow you to compare your hand to up to 10 random/known hands. but it's pretty slow after abount 2 random hands.

    Yeah..my points are back!!!!!!! Thx sloth.

    I am looking for the odds of your cards without a comparison to other player's cards; the random card analysis might be the ticket.

    That's what he was looking for. Its good because it gives you a quick summary for different number of opponents. Thanks again!

    pokerJAH, the one I like to use is http://wizardofodds.com/holdem/10players.html. For example, it shows that pocket aces has less than a 1/3 chance of winning in a 10-player game.

    I remember reading somewhere that J10 suited is actually the best starting hand statistically (because you can hit the flush and the straight) unlike aces. Although the stats don't seem to support this conclusion.

    been a long time since I read it..but doesn't one of Harringtons books seperate hands into 10% categories? That's as specific as you'd probably need to get..knowing that a hand 62% instead of in the top 30-40% doesn't seem like much of an advantage to me?
