文档介绍：Starting Hand Win Rates
Often it is correct to raise in Texas Hold’em pre-flop to cut down on the number of
opponents. With 2 players seeing the flop against your pocket aces you still have a high
win % but when 3 people stay to see the flop you have a bit more than 60% win rate. Is
that what you want? To put money in with 63% shot. No, you would like to stay in the
70% range if you are going to invest your money.
Other situations allow you to call a small raise or limp in on the button with drawing hands

probability. Some of the major factors besides the your cards/math in determining when to
raise and when to limp is who is in the pot already/who is to act after you and what
position you are in. Reading players is in another article which is available free at my

one who has 2 pair of face cards or hit trips. It is real hard to lay it down on the flop and
you usually want to protect that small 2 pair with a big bet. It was a flop of 2 5 Q with 2
suited cards and someone also paired their Q, you are holding a troubled hand my poker
reader. That person eventually got a 2nd card for 2 pair and their 2 pair was better than
mine. Onto the numbers:
A pocket pair flopping:
4 of a Kind .245 % - Full House .980 % - 3 of a Kind % - 2 Pair %
1 Pair %
Suited Connector AKs
Straight Flush .005 % - 4 of a Kind .010 % - Full House .092 % - Flush .837 %
Straight .321 % - 3 of a Kind % - 2 Pair % - 1 Pair %
So these are 2 types of the mon s
