So I was messing around with odds calculators and came up with something weird, it's a small thing that will never effect me I suppose, but I just don't understand that math behind it and it's really bugging me. If someone could set me straight I would be really happy:
FLOP: Kc Kd 8c
HAND1: Kh Qd 76.8%
HAND2: Jc 6c 23.2%
But when HAND1 holds one of HAND2's Jacks, we get
FLOP: Kc Kd 8c
HAND1: Kh Jd 72.9%
HAND2: Jc 6c 27.1%
So HAND2 improves by 4% if HAND1 holds a Jack. Why is that? HAND2 can never make a straight draw, and runner-runner full house will never work because HAND1 will always make a better full house. It looks to me like HAND2's only out is one of 9 spades, so what does it matter whether Hand1 has a jack or queen?
