			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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<img src="../../images/text_club.gif" height="10" width="12" />-J<img src="../../images/text_spade.gif" height="10" width="12" /> are the same as A<img src="../../images/text_heart.gif" height="10" width="12" />-J<img src="../../images/text_diamond.gif" height="10" width="12" />, for example.</p>
<p>On the average, one hand in 17 will have a pocket starting pair and four hands out of 17 will be suited.</p>
<p>Twelve out of every 17 hands will be your standard, run of the mill non-pair, off-suit starting hand.</p>
<p>A wired pair flops a set around 10 percent of the time. Which means 90% of the time it will not.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>A-K will see a matching A or K at the flop nearly 35% of the time.</p>
