Odds question
Ok, so I've read over and over that the odds of having a pp is 221:1.
So here's my question, what are the odds of you holding a pp, while one of your opponents at a FR table (let's say all the seats are full, so 8 opponents) has AA?
I simply ask because while I know I win AA over KK as much as I lose KK to AA (so it all comes out in the wash), it seems like these hands happen far too often, don't y'all think?
I mean I typically play 400-1k hands a day lately, and I would guess more than half the days I play I see at least one hand where KK is against AA (sometimes several).
I know that tonight, in 1k hands, I ran up against AA 5 times (which can easily happen statistically since my opponents would have seen around 8K hands while I saw 1k), but 4 out of the 5 where I played against AA and it showed down were with KK, QQ, TT and 99. Certainly AA was in my opponent's hands far more often and didn't get showed down because no one else made enough of a hand to show down with. I understand that I'm more likely to show down with a strong starting hand, which includes more pp's. I just can't wrap my head around how often this happens I guess.
So, anyone know how to figure it out statistically? This is not a complaint whatsoever. I'd just like to have more realistic expectations and understanding.
