Default Program for 3-Way Allins

Is there a program that shows how often you will finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd for 3-way allins (eg AA vs KK vs QQ)? PokerStove and 2 Dimes only show the percentages for which hand will win.

If not, what's the approach for figuring this out?

Thanks.

You can figure this out but you'd have to consider many cases .

The number of ways q's win when it hits a set but a's or k's do not improve .

The number of ways q's win when it hits a straight but a's or k's do not improve .

Also , it's important that you specify which a's k's or q's we are talking about because it can have a slight change in your answer .

ie AHAD KHKD QHQD There is no way q's or k's can win by hitting a backdoor flush .

The post below is not correct. I just realized that the outstanding cards affect the odds. But I'm leaving it here so others won't make my same mistake.

You can deduce this. Say you have KK. TwoDimes and PokerStove tell you the chance of beating AA heads up (pA), the chance of beating QQ heads up (pQ) and the chance of beating both of them in a three-way match (pAQ).

pAQ is your chance of coming in first
pA + pQ - pAQ is your chance of coming in second
1 - pA - pQ is your chance of coming in third
