Im playing in a PartyPoker Pot Limit Hold 'Em Play Money Tournament and I get heads up with some guy and I get dealt pocket Kings. After the Flop there is no Ace so I decide to put him all in because he doesnt have much chips left. He calls and reveals the other 2 Kings! I just kinda blanked for a second... what are the odds of that!?

Not sure which probabilities you're thinking of, but if you're just talking two hands, I think the probability of Kings vs. Kings is 1/270725. With two hands, the probability that the other person has Kings given that you do is 1/1225. Ten handed tables are harder to compute, and I may well be wrong, but I think that the probability that two players have kings is about 1/1600, and theprobability that someone else has kings if you do is about 1/83.On the other hand, these could be completely wrong, especially the second part.

But have had that happen a fair number of times.KK, AA, TT...etx.When it does, I'm usually glad there wasn't a third caller.
