A stupid poker stove question

Dread13 · #1 11-15-2007, 09:38 AM

If you enter your hand into pokerstove as KK, then give your opponent the range of QQ+, your equity is given as something like 49.9995%. For the life of me I can't figure out why it wouldn't just be 50%.

It's bugging me.... does anyone know?

KK vs QQ: 81.935%
AA vs KK: 81.946%

i.e. AA has more equity against KK than KK has against QQ. This is so becauses Queens can make slightly more straights against Kings than Kings can against Aces.

And now when it's heads up and someone open shoves for 120 000 big blinds and his range is QQ+, and I fold KK, I'll understand the math behind it.
