Re: Holdem AK running into AA 9-handed

You can do this one in your head since at most 1 opponent can have AA when you have AK.

Yes, but... if the first villain does not have AA, then the second villain is less likely to have AA than the first, because the first does sometimes have a hand with one ace, so there´s two aces left rather than three?

It would actually make it slightly more likely for the next villian to have AA. We don't know whether the first villian has an A or not; all we know is that he hasn't got two of them.
However, it doesn't really matter anyway. It's impossible for two other opponents to both hold AA. So, they're mutually exclusive. Using basic probability theory, the total probability is just the sum of the individual probabilities of each opponent.
