What is a good website for determining the odds of winning a hand heads up with one other player?

Last night in a tourney I pushed all in with KK. Someone called with AK. He flopped an A and I was out, but I was just wondering what my odds of winning were.

Also, is there any terminology for this? I did a search on "odds" and I just got the odds of being dealt a particular hand, etc.

Thanks a lot for any links! :)

Pre flop=
KK=70.7%
AK=29.3%

If you are to look at top of this page there is an option for quick links. Its a drop down menu, 1 of the options on the drop down menu is "Odds Calculator." Hope this helps you out.

Thanks! Hmmm... I just went to the "quick links" section like you suggested and (after installing Shockwave) the odds it gave me for preflop AKo vs KK was this:

KK = 67.5%
AKo = 32.5%

I know this can't be right because it's not counting all the ties that could occur. So then I went to another site and it gives me the following:

KK = 69.38%
AKo = 29.74%
tie = 0.88%

Oh, that's when one of my kings is the same suit as the ace. When it's not the same suit, the odds are a little different:

KK = 69.61%
AKo = 29.60%
tie = 0.79%

Hmmm, well, I'll keep playing around with this, but you basically gave me what I need. Although someone's numbers aren't right... ;)

"Odds Calculator."

That is the magic phrase! Thank you! I google that and I get all sorts of stuff! :) Wow, you teach a man to fish...
