Hands in Holdem

Hi,

I remember that in one of your Q&A articles your last sentence was something about the possible two-card hands (starting hands in holdem), which for you equaled to 2,652. I’m sorry but I believe it should be 1,326, 2,652 should be divided by 2. Well I honestly can’t remember why it should be divided by 2 but I think it’s correct. Also, it can be supported by some facts or realities like the odds of getting pocket aces which is 220 to 1 and the 6 possible combination of pocket aces divided by 1,326 possible hands = 0.45249% or 220 to 1.

My intention for this is not to offend you but instead to just share what I think can be a great help. I’m still your fan.

Many thanks,
Janz
Janz,

I’m not sure which article you are referring but there are 1,326 possible card combinations in Holdem. (52 × 51)/2 = 1,326 would be the calculation.
