Help me out a bit, dont know how to
Say I am in the SB and hold A9os.
There are then 3 A`s left and 4 ranks higher then my 9 There are 3 ways to be delt AA, and twelwe ways of Ax x= T-K So so 51 combinations of A and the higer ranked cards? There are 52x51/2= combinations of any two cards, but I hold 2 so 50x49/2= is the number that I will compare my feared combinations towards? What then if I am on co adding 3 players to the situation. Likelyhood of any of the combinations I fear then? Simply add? What about if there are more then one Ax hand there? Please help, new to this |

Thats not the way to look at it
If there is a raise before you then think carefully if that player likely has an A with a better kicker. Some players raise with only that or big pairs. Consider folding. But if there isn't then you are fairly likely to have the best ace. |

There is a small error in your computation as far as the number of combinations of cards is concerned.
There are 3 A's left and 16 cards from T-K, so the number of ways to choose the first A is 3 times the remaining 18 cards, the 16 cards from T-K plus the two other aces. So the number of combinations is 54. |

The formula for that is 3*2/2 because the Aces are indistinguishable, rather than 3*2 as you effectively did. So 51 is the correct number. |
