Can someone explain how those win %s were achieved? |
This is kind of a guess, but I think it has to do with how many times your hand wins/loses/ties with ALL possible hands being dealt. If you look at 2dimes.net it lists the following:
Holdem Hi: 1712304 enumerated boards
cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
As 7d 791023 46.20 471004 27.51 450277 26.30 0.593
Ah 6h 471004 27.51 791023 46.20 450277 26.30 0.407
Interesting to note that since both of your side cards are low, the "tie" plays out so much more. If the side cards were higher you'd be what I call domiated and more than a 2-1 dog:
Holdem Hi: 1712304 enumerated boards
cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
As Jd 1104389 64.50 477526 27.89 130389 7.61 0.683
Ah Th 477526 27.89 1104389 64.50 130389 7.61 0.317
