    Here's another fun one. Choose between A,K offsuit, 9,8 suited or 2,2. After you choose, I'll choose from the remaining two and ALWAYS be the favorite!

    This is a simple task. My harder is more profitable and not so easily verifiable

    That's a fun one

    AKo
    wins 59.52% against 98s

    98s
    wins 52.56% against 22

    22
    wins 52.75% against AKo

    Back to the OP's question. If two people have 22 and two people have AKo, the AKo holders will win about 2% more often than the 22 holders. If two people have 22 and four other people have all possible combinations of AKo, AKo will still win almost 1% more often than 22. However, while they're winning their 1%, the 22 holders are splitting the pot the rest of the time. I'll split the blinds and raises with the other 22 holder.

    If there is a table of 5 people, four of which hold AKo and one person holding 22, the lucky duck (pun intended) holding 22 will win 84.79% of the time.

    Give me the deuces.

    Two people contend not sitting at the table and not participating in the game, from the side watching the progress of the five cards. Payment 1/1 after the river.

    What do you mean by payment 1/1 after the river?

    AK vs 22. Only two players. A fifth and final community card will be dealt face up in the center of the table. This card is called the "river."

    Yes. I think most of us are familiar with what the Flop, Turn, and River are. I don't know what you are meaning about 1/1 payment and the non-participating bystanders.

    The arguers are standing near the table behind which other people play. 100$ vs 100$. Understandably ? ? ))

    OK, I give a hint, in our case, the deck for calculating probabilities becomes modified. It contains extra 4 cards !!! Gentlemen, where is your IQ ?
