Can anyone agree with this? When shoving all in with AK you have less then 45% chance of winning against any PP because somebody could have already folded a K or an A preflop? For example, somebody folded K2o preflop which means you have minus 1 out? To be fair the chances of somebody folding at least one K or A is big preflop?

Thanks in advance

It's offset by the times everyone who folds didn't have an A or K in their hand, thus making all As and Ks live with less cards remaining.

Unknown cards do not affect probabilities. What's the difference between the card you need being in the muck vs at the bottom of the deck?

Also, why didn't you apply the same logic to the guy with the underpair? Someone could have folded his set cards.

In reality, if a bunch of people folded, there are on avg slightly more high cards in the deck because they're more likely to fold low cards than high cards.

Wow, didn't think of that one before, thanks for the tip.

Well a lot of mucked cards aren't unknown. The reality is that there is actually a greater chance of aces and kings still being live because there is more combinations of Ax/Kx that are not folded while a lot of small cards always will be. While unpaired high cards are almost always played like AK/AQ or KQ, 84o will hit the muck every single time thus having a lot of people fold random hands will increase the ratio of big cards in the remaining unknown cards.

They do though as some hands are less likely to be folded (like AK) and some more likely (like 72) someone did great analysis of this effect on this forum before. Unfortunately I can't find a link now. I am pretty sure this effect is in favor of AK not in favor of pp though (aces and kings are less likely to be folded so when the actions get to you there are on average more of them in the deck)

In general action that favors hitting AK:

Open folds, flatting 2B, limps, overcalls, 2B/F, folding behind action helps a little, more if it's a snap/auto-fold.

Action that favors opponents who call:

any aggression, but with a premium over passive action. gets worse as it gets tighter.

Kelvis and Punter didn't read the bottom of my post :P

But iirc from TIE's thead, the effect is too slight to worry about when you have overcards and are facing a shove by what you believe to be an underpair (or vice versa).

Yeah, leveling was huge in those days but sometimes it went too far.

It's relevant because the possibility of a set is why the pair is favored instead of the overcards. If both players hit the board, the wired pair hits harder.

AK facing an underpair has a 50.32% chance of at least pairing by the river. If he's against 99 and we know that both the other 9's are removed, that becomes a 52% chance and AK has roughly a 4% edge.
