I am sure many players can give you the statistical probability.

I am curious how the mathematical likelihood compares to actual online stats.

In h/l I have had AA 11,758 times in 458,367 hands.

I have that as just over 2.5%.

Anyone else?

I'm truly sorry.

1-2

How precise an answer are you looking for?

I approximate between 4-5% of hands have AA.

macawboy · #7 08-02-2007, 09:56 AM

Just to the nearest 1%.

Mendacious · #8 08-02-2007, 09:59 AM

I believe 4-5%

Macaw Boy - First think in terms of four cards, not just two.

You can be dealt AAXY, AAAY or AAAA.

If you just want AAXY,<ul type="square">6*C(48,2)/C(52,4) = 6*1128/270725 = 0.025, or about one out of forty.[/list]
If you also want to include AAAY, add to that<ul type="square">4*48/270725 = 0.00007, or about one out of 1410. This is too small to make much of a difference.[/list]
You'll be dealt AAAA 1/270725.

Those are all probabilities of being dealt hands with more than one ace.
