AA vs KK odds?

[weirpougs]

this happened in a recent game. can anyone tell me the odds on two players getting these hands? how could i work it out in the future?

£5 home game (no rebuys) 8 players - one absoulte novice and one was semi novice.
luckily the novices didn't win (i would of punched them)
anyway down to three players myself included.
button Me 65s (shot stacked - just enough for one big blind)
player 1 AA (huge stack)
player 2 KK (medium stack)

i fold (luckly) then eventually player two get put all in pre flop.
board is....wait i'm an idiot at dealing and flip the burn card.....it's a KING! but wait...
here comes the board 10 K 9 K 6!!
player 2 wins to my relief.

Uh...that's 5 Kings.

Uh...that's 5 Kings.

Maybe they were using 5 decks in the shuffler like that one guy...

ooops... sorry typo as computer was crashing as i wrote it. it was a jack.

It doesnt matter if its AA or KK. Whenever there's two pocket pairs head-to-head, the higher pair is 4:1, or 4.4:1 if the suits on the pocket pairs match.

I think...

What about AA offsuit vs. KK suited?

That doesn't change the odds much, but there's always that chance for a flush. I'm pretty sure Bill Fillmaff would play that hand.

:D

Are you guys just kidding around? At least post a wink

...Suited pocket pairs... hehe,

I had a neat little hand one time in a home game where my all-in with pocket queens was met by pocket jacks and pocket kings. Luckily I hit a queen on the flop.

No, no, no. When I was talking about the suits on the pocket pairs matching, I meant like A A vs. K K

True story: Playing live limit and I had AA. Flop was AKQ. Betting went crazy. Turn and river paired sixes. Betting went ballistic with myself and two other players in. Showdown showed AA (me), KK, and QQ. UN__believable. Was glad to have had the aces.

I think the chances of your KK being up against AA is 1:24. Correct me if im wrong.

ive seen aces, queens and jacks all hit on the flop. I had queens, but it was limit so i didnt lose much.

odds based on what, 1:24 times you get KK there will be AA against you? as for the exact odd im not sure but im interested to know, because i've seen AA vs KK against each other about 15-20 times a night in 3-4 sessions, needless to say i no longer play on that site,

anyone know what the exact odds are?

For every 24 times you have kings, someone will have another pair (including aces), so it's best to never try to figure out when.

[Icec0o1]

Nah, that seems way too often.

You have a 1 in 20 chance to get a pocket pair. AA is 1 of 13 possible pocket pairs but let's make it 1 of 12 since we can discard the last two kings. So 20 * 30 = 500. Let's say a full table, that means 9 opponents so it's 500/9 = about 1 in 56.
