I've been playing around with Poker Stove to figure out the odds of playing certain hands in particular situations (ex. all in the low pair pre-flop v. 1 opponent; flop with 2 set cards, and me having 2 set cards (i.e. 4 set cards v. someone with a High Pair). I noticed that these odds tend to change when the amount of players at the table changes.
I can't seem to figure out why, from a stats perspective, it makes no sense.
Why would a 77 All-In Pre-flop have different odds of winning versus a single player on a table composed of (a) 10 players as opposed to (b) 2 players?
With 2 players the odds are 66% with a 33, with 10 players the odds are 59% versus any random player.
Basically, at the theoretical level I'm trying to understand how the amount of players at the table affects the odds of certain hands being the statistical favorite versus one other player. If we assume that the other cards are in the form of a random distribution (which poker stove is supposed to do), this makes no sense.
is this a bug in the program or am i missing something?
