Math is so hard tho. My friend tried to learn me it but I just dont get it. Okay so we say 6 > 2. Now to figure out the value of each of our hands I'll take their numerical value and add them together. Since aces play high in this game I'll count them as 14. So mathematically his hand is worth 27(14 + 13) while mine is 22(11 + 11). Next we have to factor in overcards being mathematically better than pairs to win when a hand is played all the way out. To do this, we square his current score (27 * 27 = 729) and divide mine by two (22 / 2 = 11). The final step is taking our outs into account. Since he's obviously awesome we take his current score and multiply it by his total number of outs (729 * 6 = 4374) and since im a fish we take my current score and find the oroot of it, where o is my number of outs (sqrt(11) = 3.316). So when all is said in done im 4374:3.316 or about infinity:1 underdog.
