Because if I am playing kings correctly, the only people likely to call my bet or reraise me either have a high pocket pair or Ax. So if an ace comes down, there is a decent chance someone is holding one. And I would say that number is higher than any math of these statistics would give you. | |

| Jan 26, 2016 at 15:40 | comment | added | Kriem | Isn't it statistically interesting to be aware of the fact that someone else holding an ace is quite common? It's the classic story of novice players falling in love with their K or Q, not taking into account that any ace would probably have them beat? | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 20:22 | comment | added | James Wilson | It isn't that we don't care it's just that the question and answer are not very relevant and answering the question sends the wrong message to more novice players. If you have kings and the flop comes down A56 are you all of the sudden not going to make a Cbet? Or are you only going to make a Cbet 8% of the time? 8% is pretty low, if a tight player called you are you going to Cbet him 82% of the time? Once the flop comes down, the chances of anyone holding an ace is meaningless. Once the flop drops, the most important information is how they played pre-flop and their hand ranges. | |

Knowing the odds of someone else having an ace in that situation isn't too relevant; what is relevant is the odds of them betting their ace vs. betting junk, and this has little to do with their odds of having the ace in the first place. After all, the odds of them having one ace is equal to the odds of each of the people that folded having folded an ace. | |
| Jan 21, 2016 at 14:13 | comment | added | Kriem | I do care if I have kings and I see the board showing an Ace. Thanks for the link! I'll check it out. | |
| Jan 21, 2016 at 14:12 | comment | added | Jonast92 | I guess rarely anyone care, if no one cares there's a good chance it's not an important factor of the game. I don't care if someone has an ace if I got kings, the only thing that matters is if someone will match their ace. Here might be some statistics relevant to your case: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_probability_(Texas_hold_%27em) | |

| Jan 20, 2016 at 19:51 | comment | added | mah | There's 52 cards, 4 of them are aces. It's approximately a 8% chance that any specific card is an ace. What more do you really care about? | |
| Jan 20, 2016 at 17:49 | comment | added | Kriem | Same story more or less. When holding Ax, what are the odds I'm facing someone with Ax as well. | |
| Jan 20, 2016 at 17:44 | comment | added | paparazzo | Then why are you asking for the chances of 2,3,4 aces being out? | |
| Jan 20, 2016 at 17:42 | comment | added | Kriem | Curiosity. How often do we have to deal with others having an Ace. Say I have KK, when in a ten handed game, what are the odds of someone having an Ace? | |
| Jan 20, 2016 at 17:40 | comment | added | paparazzo | Interested to know why this is important to you? Single ace in two hands is way different than two aces in one hand. If you have a pair of kings and there is an ace on the board you are beat by any ace - does it matter if three hands can beat you. | |
