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!

1.8% seems low to the possibility of a heart or club flush or a 9-K straight. But, I'm no computer!

Congrats, that's awesome.

straights would split the pot, so Kings only have half equity. he has an ace of a suit in each of the others hands.

wow, thats nice.. i dont think it gets any sweeter than that

It's an article by Mike Sexton in Cardplayer. He was involved in similar hand, holding pocket queens against two all-in players holding pocket tens, only the end result for him was not as good. His opponents caught two running cards to make a Jack-high straight, and Sexton got knocked out of the tourney.

So even when the odds are long, miracles happen. I'm glad that the math held up for me.
