First time poster here. I hope this is the correct venue and if not, please move accordingly.
In a 3 way hold'em pot, the hands were:
J4 suited in diamonds
KK both red
66 both red
Flop was ... J 6 4... all spades
According to poker player hand calculator, the J4 is more of a favorite to suck out versus the two Kings.
My question is "why".
Obviously the J4 could catch the 2 outer of either J just as the KK could catch one of his Kings. In addition the J4 could catch two running 4s, but since that happens like every 900 hands, that very small advantage is far out weighed by the fact that both a J and a K could turn/river and give the Kings the victory.
So, my question is why after the flop in that 3 way hand, is the J4 more likely to win compared to the KK?
Thanks
