Default 54:1 Favorite... Preflop!

I was involved in a wild hand last night in a MTT on PS. Fortunately, I had the upside.

I was in the big blind, and by the time the action got to me, two players had moved all in. I called with my pocket aces. When we flipped the cards, the other two players both had pocket kings!

A Holdem calculator reported the preflop percentages as follows:

.... 96.5%

.... 1.8%

.... 1.8%

So, according to the percentages, I was 53.6 times more likely to win this hand than either of my opponents before the flop. Not a bad spot to get all your chips in!

P.S... I flopped an Ace! And then I made a full house on the river!
