In your first example, 49.39% is the chance to win with 22 against one single person with a random set of cards. But here I am interested in a pure math/probability. I think I understand why UTG position is not as good as BB in a real game, as others do not reveal any information before your first turn. So unless they specifically state the methodology, hand rankings are just a guide.įurthermore, all of these rankings assume that the hands get shown down, which is unrealisticĭoyle Brunson has the hand T2o named after him, since he famously won two consecutive WSOP main events with that hand. So how the hands are compared one to another matters a lot.īB 52.67% 52.08% 0.59% Įven though it has 50% equity vs a random hand, it has <50% equity vs the top 50% The closer you get to UTG the worse it gets. Vs two random hands, you are not only 2:1 dog overall, you don't even have the strongest hand of the bunch. You're in the SB with 10BB vs BB with a similar stack on the bubble of a 6-Man Sit & Go Here is another, but it does not say what the methodology is, so I suspect it is vs 1 random hand.As a crude example, let's look at 22.
