I'm sick and tired of this "OMG I GOT BAD BEAT, I HAD A POCKET PAIR AND ALL YOU HAD WAS OVERCARDS!"

Preflop, a pocket pair only has 2 outs to improve,overcards have 6! (This is not even taking into account straight and flush draws!) That means overcards are at least a 3:1 favorite to improve and win the hand. So stop whining morans.

Morans, I think thats a city in Michigan

The pocket pair is a about a 55% favorite to win the hand. I agree that a pair losing to overcards is not a bad beat, but it is a small favorite nonetheless.

The overcards are 75% to win you [censored] idiot. How can people be soo ******ed. Did you even read my post? Can you reduce fractions?

Your pulling our leg, right

Actually you're more like 4:1 cause of the chance that someone else at the table already folded one of the pair's outs!!!!

i was having a rough night (i love that i can post whines here and noone cares) but after reading this thread and nearly dying laughing I think I can handle it again.

Thank you so very much. I <3 this forum.

Oh ya, you forgot that overcards have more cards to make straights with. A PP can only use the 1 card, while overs can use 2.

I'll fix your math:

Overcards: 6 outs to improve x 2 straights = 12
PP : 2outs to improve X1 staright x2flushes = 4

Overs are 3:1 favorite. Your math was wrong.

You're right and every poker calculator on earth that calculates these statistics is wrong. The experts that run this forum are wrong too, seeing how these stats are published in their books. The geniuses on the probability forum are also wrong. In fact, we're all wrong and morans (learn to spell, MORON!) and you're the only person here that knows how to play poker. Your 1600 posts clearly indicates that.

Or perhaps it just means you can type....

I love this site. We can all read and respond to questions and thoughts that oftentimes have no resolution. Arguing about whether getting beat with 8-8 by two overcards is truly a "bad beat" is like trying to get everyone to agree on the BCS fiasco in college football. I hope there's never a resolution, because that wopuld ruin much of the fun. By the way, I agree that the pair is only about a 53% to 47% favorite -vs- two overcards, meaning in no way can this be called a bad beat.

KQ needs 2 cards to improve. If it hits one of its outs, it's still an underdog to aces. A pair of aces is better than a pair of kings or queens.

The lower the pocket pair, the better possibility that overcards will flop. Petriv's Holdem Odds Book has the odds of overcards hitting the flop for any pocket pair on page 99.

Your problem is that you are reading crap like this. Read a 2+2 book and maybe you can understand my math, moran.

Good God, the inability of some people to detect ridiculously over the top sarcasm makes this site hilarious sometimes.
