We have over 700k hands.
Oh? That's right, I forgot... I usually look like this when I'm playing/browsing :cheers:
We have over 700k hands.
I think you got such an impression because of the fact that in online poker we play more hands than offline, so this situation occurs more often.
We've actually started sampling PP frequency in that thread and we're up to ~400k hand sample if you'd like to contribute
awesome. ill contribute tonight or tomorrow
Right, but how worried should we be? At a 9 handed table, we only run into a better pair:
Holding KK: 3.85% of the time
Holding QQ: 7.57% of the time
Holding JJ: 11.17% of the time
Holding TT: 14.64% of the time
And, all of those stats are assuming we are UTG with 8 people left to act behind us. When people have folded to us, we have even less of a chance of running into them. With 10-10 on the Button, there's only a 3.88% chance of running into a bigger pair.
In short, I don't get too paranoid about bigger hands being out there.
