AK is crappy multi-way all-in hand...

[bogey1]

In turbos you end up in quite a few situations with 2 people all in ahead of you (or you call an all-in and someone else comes in behind you).

I'd always figured AK wasn't that bad in a 3-way pot. If I dominate one Ace and I'm a coinflip with a small pair, that's not so bad, right? well, I just ran the numbers and to my suprise, AK barely wins 1/3rd of the time. You might as well fold.

cards %win %lose %tie EV
3c 3h 45.04 54.40 0.56 0.452
As Kh 32.17 64.22 3.60 0.339
Qs Ah 19.18 77.21 3.60 0.209

Even against 2 smaller pairs, AK is only about 38% (which is certainly worth doing, but it's not as close to a coinflip as I would have thought).

Anyway, I figured if this was a suprise to me, it might be to others as well.

Edit: AKs gets up to around 38% as well.
