Thanks helpful Eddie, what are the chances of two undercards beating a high pair if suited / not suited? Just out of curiosity.

Yeh I just read the quiz question 7 by Daniel himself. He said he folded but should have played it as the odds of even against AA was a 1 in 4 chance of winning.Anyways cheers for the help.

Exact percent, I would have guessed it was 80% vs 20% but then I thought it would be a bit lower than 80% because its around that for a overpair vs an underpair.Eddie I believe you to be the most arrogant person I have ever met and I can't believe that this forum has not moderated you out of here yet especially with all of your snide comments. I have just found my love for poker and thought that I could increase my enjoyment factor by coming to this forum. I did not however expect to come up with people like you on a site run by the most respected poker player of all time, at least in my view. This has ruined my day, Eddie you are very rude.

[8d 7d] vs [Kd Kh]21.5% vs 78.5%Personally, I don't think an over pair losing to two under cards is a "bad beat". I think it's called "poker" and it happens....more than 1/5 of the time in this situation.IMO, the odds have to be worse than this to be a true "bad beat".

Decent online poker calculator:http://www.twodimes.net/poker/In your example (where the undercards are suited connectors) it's 78.3% for the pair and 21.3% for the undercards, with the remainder being a tie. Unsuited goes to 80.96% for the pair and 18.79% for the connectors. Random unconnected junk like 82o gives 86.94% for the pair, 12.69% for the undercards.
