Hand Groupings

Hi,

I’m here again to ask some questions.

  1. How much you are to win with AA compared to KK or QQ? 10%? Higher or lower?
  2. You once said that modified hand groupings are better than the Sklansky ones. Sorry but I don’t exactly believe you on this one right now. Say a player with 22 is more likely to beat a player with 44. Do you know any reason for this?
  3. Why do you think an A8s rate higher than A9s?

Thanks for your time in advance!

Regards,
Jill
Jill,

  1. Aces will win against Kings or Queens 81% of the time.
  2. The only way a player with 2-2 will beat 4-4 is if they catch a set or a flush of a different suit than the suits of the fours.
  3. An A-8 suited is actually an underdog to A-9 suited 60% to 26%.
