So this means if you hold AK, there is still a better chance of villian holding AK as well vs them having QQ because they still have 9 ways to make AK and only 6 to make QQ? Do you know where l would find the formula to figure out things this? (or does pokerstove have this ability and I am not using it right)

You don't need pokerstove. The math is simple.

For a pocket pair (we'll call it XX), the number of X cards left in the deck will be nX. In that case, the frequency is:

nX * (nX-1)

For a non pocket pair (we'll call it YZ), the frequency is:

nY * nZ
