Default Re: Hypothetical Heads Up Gambling Situation

[ QUOTE ]
Based on the webpage that Jay provided, where I got my numbers...

Of the 169 starting hands, 89 win more than 50% of the time and 80 win less than 50% of the time. This means that of the top half of hands in terms of equity, four of them will win greater than 50% of the time but you're still correct to fold.

Here's an example:

With 22, there are 86 hands with better equity and 82 hands with worse. If you fold, odds are you will pick up a better hand next time and thats why you should fold 22 on turn 9.

The other reason this is obviously wrong is there are actually 1326 different hands (not counting order of cards) not 169. If you only count 169 hands then each hand is not equally likely as there are 12 kinds of offsuited hands, 4 kinds of suited hands, and 6 kinds of pairs.
