    It depends on the number of decks in play.
    Somewhere between 10 and 11% (all cards in play).
    I dont understand the basic strategy part of the question.
    The probability of getting anything with the first two cards is the same for everyone and independent of the strategy being used.

    If you count all soft and hard hands, I think it's just over 14%, for six decks.
