Random hand stats
There are 1,326 different possible combinations of two hole cards from a standard 52-card deck, but only 169 non-equivalent starting hands. This is because hands like A
-J
are the same as A
-J
, for example.
On the average, one hand in 17 will have a pocket starting pair and four hands out of 17 will be suited.
Twelve out of every 17 hands will be your standard, run of the mill non-pair, off-suit starting hand.
A wired pair flops a set around 10 percent of the time. Which means 90% of the time it will not.
Two random, unsuited and unpaired cards will flop two pair only around 2% of the time. Yet two random, suited cards will make a flush nearly 7% of the time.
A-K will see a matching A or K at the flop nearly 35% of the time.
