Hi!

I'm wondering how to calculate the preflop probability of winning a showdown in a 3 handed game. Lets say AKo vs QQ vs TT?

Thanks
Lars

Are there any probability tables (excel sheets) of all possible 3 hand combinations? That would be too much work with pokerstove I guess ;-)

There are 169 possilbe starting hands. I dont think you want a table with 4.826.809 combinations Oo

How does PokerStove do it? What is the math behind it that makes it so fast? It must use some lookup tables.

Exactly! That's also how a calculator instantly gives you the answer to 25,685 * 35,275......it has all of the multiplication possibilities in tables and searches for the appropriate one.
Now, if we could only get into Pokerstove and find those tables........ [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
