Toss Up hands

[McGrain]

Be sure and get back to me on that one.

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 49.916% 49.60% 00.31% 849322 5387.50 { 2c2s }
Hand 1: 50.084% 49.77% 00.31% 852207 5387.50 { AhKh }

yeah hands like AK are tossups

[PugsMcGee]

basically anything from about 60-40 would be considered a toss up hand.

Fascinating stuff. So AK suited RED is a tiny favourite v any black pair. To my shame, I did not know that.

If you are of a mind, what's the story if your man is holding 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] v AK [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

That one is better for 22:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 50.298% 49.96% 00.33% 855521 5727.00 { 2d2s }
Hand 1: 49.702% 49.37% 00.33% 845329 5727.00 { AdKd }

The worst for AK (other than AA or KK) is this:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 42.724% 42.57% 00.16% 728909 2661.00 { AcKd }
Hand 1: 57.276% 57.12% 00.16% 978073 2661.00 { ThTs }

The thing to remember about AK is that it is crushed by AA, a pretty big dog to KK, is a "toss up" against 22-QQ, it crushes AQ and lower and is around a 2:1 favourite against other unpaired undercards.

So all this means that AK is a good hand to come over the top all-in with. It likes to see all five cards and there are only two hands it is in trouble against.

people always like to mention the AK vs pocket pair, one situation that amuses me is small pair versus middle suited overcards.

22 vs T7s

(these are considering all suit possibilities)
