If someone has KK preflop at a table of 9, what are the odds that any other one player will have AA?

The odds one person getting AA is 220 to 1.

Same as if you had any other hand that didn't include an ace

4/50 *4/50 = .0064, therefore .64%

I knew this off the bat except :

  • I didnt know the proper math.
  • I wasnt sure if Hitman was being sarcastic or not.

4% seems awfuly high Caller.

It does to me too, but 8 opponents is a lot of chances. I'll stick to that number until someone points out the flaw in my math (there probably is one...it's late).

If its 220/1 anybody has it than its 220/9 that somebody else has it at a ten player ring game.

Oh wait. Forgot to take into account that each person has that chance to have AA

So it would be

4/50 * 3/49 * 8 = about 4%

I'm wrong...

You can't answer this question using an algebraic method but have to use combinatorial mathematics. Unfortunate I can't handle combinatorials. However combinatorials allow for the chance that the four aces come out before the second card is dealt to any player while your method does not consider this possibility. Ask at 2 X 2.
