what are the chances due to hand distribution (ie AKs is more likely than AKo)

No?

No what?

You say you were counting the "Number of all possible hands at each street that are better than hand"

I was saying you have to take into account the probability of each hand occuring not just counting them. Unless you are using an exhaustive count.

For example if the only hands that could beat you were AA or A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] do you count that as two hands that could beat you or do you count it as seven hands?

If you count it as seven hands you are taking the hand distribution into account, if you count it as two you are not.

im not sure what your no means

This is ok, but may lead you to the wrong conclusions. It's not just about how likely a hand is to win a showdown, it's also about how well does a hand play post flop. For example A2o is a better hand than JTs by your criteria, but JTs plays infinitely better and can extract more money post flop than A2o.

There are 4 AKs hands and 12 AKo hands, which I'm sure you know, so I'm very confused.

I know a guy who had a bot win about $8/hr at 1/2 limit on partypoker for 6 months before he got banned from party.
