Key Poker Percentages
This section covers the key percentages that you will see repeatedly during Texas No-Limit Hold’em tournaments. Knowing them can help you make good decisions on when to check, call raise, re-raise or fold.
Let's get started! In a standard deck of standard playing cards there are 4 suits with 13 cards per suit making a total of 52 cards in a deck of cards. Simple enough.
In Texas No-Limit Hold’em there are 1,326 possible starting hand combinations. Because there are multiple combinations of the same hands there are only 169 unique hand combinations. For example, there are exactly four ways to get AK suited and exactly six ways to get pocket aces. Let’s look at the types of hands you will get.
Next, let’s look at draws and probabilities of hitting one of your cards.
Note:
If you would like to learn how to use these percentages to your advantage in tournament poker please see the Chapter: Capitalizing on Patterns in the book: Mastering Poker Math.
