Default Re: all-in pre-flop KK vs. QQ deal

It's easy enough to calculate. Just go to twodimes.net

You had 82% pot equity, villain had 18%

Overall pot was $380. 18% of $380 is $68.40. You made a good deal.

By the way, another way to reduce the variance, one that is always (nearly) fair, is to split the pot into two or three roughly equal sub-pots. (It doesn't matter if they are exactly equal.) Then deal out a different board for each sub-pot, awarding each one separately. This actually turns out to be a slight advantage for the hand that is ahead, unless you gather up the cards and reshuffle for each separate board you deal out. But the difference compared to true odds is slight.
