So, I just watched AQo lose to 83o and I thought what are the odds of that. I was a bit paranoid because I had just lost with QQ to KK and then I watched these same two hands dealt to two other players no more than 5 hands later. The queens lost, of course.

So, I ran it through Poker Stove:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 67.456% 67.22% 00.23% 165748356 578574.00 { AQo }
Hand 1: 32.544% 32.31% 00.23% 79666272 578574.00 { 83o }

weird, i thought... so i tried another one....

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 68.009% 67.76% 00.25% 167086296 605412.00 { AQo }
Hand 1: 31.991% 31.75% 00.25% 78274656 605412.00 { 72o }

and another...

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 66.069% 65.78% 00.29% 162201672 707004.00 { AQo }
Hand 1: 33.931% 33.64% 00.29% 82956096 707004.00 { 32o }


These results are completely counter to my intuition. Can anyone explain them? Does this mean I will win a little less than 1/3rd of the time with 72o against AQo? What if anything should I take away from these statistics?
