1. Wondering if anyone has a good explanation on if I should be running it twice or not. Other then it cutting variance is there any different reasons I should want to do this? I play 1/2 to 25/50 PLO and have never really clicked the run it twice option but I do notice most of the top players in the games I play do run it twice.
2. Table #3 – Poker Odds Chart As you can see in the above table, if you’re holding a flush draw after the flop (9 outs) you have a 19.1% chance of hitting it on the turn or expressed in odds, you’re 4.22-to-1 against.

Running Into An Opponent Holding Aces When You Have Been Dealt Kings Is Always Unfortunate - This Look At The Probability Of KK vs AA Gives You The Explanations You Need

It is going to happen to you many times in a poker career of any length at all – you hold 2 kings and get as much money into the pot as possible pre-flop (or on a safe looking flop) and end up running into 2 aces. This article looks at the probability of this match-up and goes on to explain that, as bad as you may feel, there is rarely any real need to change the way you approach this situation. This article compliments our introduction to Pre-flop Poker Probability which explains this important area in depth.

KK vs AA – The Basic Numbers And Probability

First the actual numbers depend on how many opponents are still to act, and to a lesser extent how many have already folded (since they are less likely to be folding hands which contain an ace).

• Chance of you getting dealt KK in any one hand is 221 to 1 – so 0.4% of the time you’ll see 2 Kings in your hand before the flop.
  
• Chance of any one opponent getting dealt 2 aces pre-flop is the same, 221-1, but we need to take into account that there are 2 kings ‘accounted for’ here. That is to say their cards came from 50 unknown cards and not the full 52. So, the chances are a little bit bigger – 0.48% in fact – or around once every 205 hands.
  
• Of course this is per opponent, so you need to adjust for many opponents. Here we could get tricky and start to account for the folded cards, but since the effect will be very small we can just multiply it up in the following format to give a good idea of the true AA vs KK odds.

This clearly shows that at full table of players you are only likely to run those Kings into Aces less than 1 time in 20 – in itself this is a strong case for playing them as strongly as possible pre-flop – however there is an even better way of looking at the same numbers.

KK vs AA – Probability In Relation To The Hands Your Opponent Would Raise

Here is the situation – half way through a poker tournament the blinds and antes are starting to get large in relation to the stacks. You raise before the flop with KK and are re-raised an amount that would commit both you and your opponent to the pot if you call (so effectively all-in). How can we make an informed decision here that will win us chips in the long run?

While in this situation you would rarely fold without a read on an opponent that they have aces ridiculously often here, the thought process below can help you in situations where you have a wider range of holdings.

Ask This Question: What Is The Range Of Hands My Opponent Could Have Made This Big Raise With?

For example, if in the above situation you estimated your opponent to be reasonably tight you might easily assume he would raise with Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces, Ace-King or Ace-Queen Suited.

You can then use this estimate to work out your winning chances against the complete range of hands. This can be done using a free poker odds calculator such as Poker Stove or it can be done manually – taking into account that the fact that you hold two kings reduces the chances of your opponent holding KK or A-K.

Using Poker Stove we can see that against the range of hands even an extremely tight opponent might raise with we have a massive 63% equity in the pot and a clear call… if your opponent plays a wider range or includes just a small percentage of bluffs here then your chances are even bigger.

My message is clear – if you are dealt KK pre-flop you need a very clear read to fold against a single opponent. Play those Kings like the best hand and wish your opponent the best those times you run into aces – and you will show a big profit over time.

Of course it can pay to find the poker sites at which opponents are not smart enough to understand the implications of assessing odds and probabilities.

Hi, my name is Greg and I'm 32.

I'm trying to create the best poker strategy website I can. The poker game I am best at is No Limit Texas Hold'em, so my strategy focuses on that.

Poker Odds Calculator Running It Twice Upon

I didn't like the way I had to learn the game when I first started playing online poker in 2006, so I started this poker strategy website in 2007. ThePokerBank.com sounded good at the time, and I thought I'd figure the rest out as I went along.

This is what I've got so far.

I want to try and explain poker strategy better than anyone else, so that other people don't have to go through the same problems I did when trying to win money from poker. Poker is complex, but that doesn't mean it has to be complicated. Learning is easy if you can find the right material.

This isn't an all-singing and all-dancing poker website, I haven't got the time for that. It's Texas Hold'em strategy with a few things on the side. If anything's singing and dancing it's me.

Who doesn't love Shania Twain?

What is ThePokerBank all about?

The general idea of ThePokerBank is to teach you how to play winning no limit Texas Hold'em and help you find a better room to play at. Basically, I want to help you win more money from playing Texas Hold'em online.

To summarize the goals of ThePokerBank as sweetly as possible:

• Teach quality Texas Hold'em strategy through articles and videos. The better you play the more you win.
• Give honest reviews of Texas Hold'em rooms. I'm not going lie and tell you that every room is perfect.

Tip: If you ever get lost, cut your losses and head to the Texas Hold'em FAQ.

Playing Texas Hold'em poker online.

There are multiple options for playing Texas Holdem online. I've given honest reviews of these rooms in the Texas Hold'em rooms section.

I urge you to check out a variety of the top Texas Hold'em rooms on this site and go for the one you like the most. Make your own decisions (it's a running theme in poker) and be happy with the room you decide to play at.

Different players have different tastes and expectations, so play at the room that you like best and don't worry about what others may be claming to be the 'bestest room ever'.

Feeling comfortable while you play is more important than any other metric.

My top 5.

Different rooms appeal to different types of players. You should check out the reviews and go for the one you think suits you best. Everyone has their favourite chair, everyone has their favourite poker room.

Having said that, I do have incredibly good taste, so here are my favourite 5 rooms for playing Texas Hold'em poker online.

Useful Texas Hold'em stuff.

Along with the strategy and room information on this site, there are a few other things you may find useful:

A bit more about guy behind ThePokerBank.

My name is Greg (see right, fuzzy hair is due to the 2020 lockdown), I'm from the UK and I started ThePokerBank in 2007. You can find out more gripping stuff about me on my about me page.

Why should you trust my strategy and advice?

I'm not a full time professional or live tournament player, so don't expect to see me on TV shows or in any poker history books. Not yet anyway.

Despite that major set back, I am a comfortable winning online Texas Hold'em cash game player up to $200NL, which is good enough for me. I've also played at more online poker rooms than most people would consider healthy.

All the information on this site is free. Feel free to comment around. Consistency isn't really my thing so don't be offended by untimely replies, but if I stumble back in to a responsive state I'll give you the best reply I can. I just want to say the fact that you are adding to the strategy pages is appreciated.
