Pocket 8′s Against Ace King

Hello,

Last night, I played with some friends. At some point I wagered against one of my friends. Back then I had pocket 8′s and then went all in. Four players were in the hand before the flop. After a while my friend called me with Ace King offsuit. I then said that I had made a good decision for as long as nobody had pockets most likely I would win. On the contrary, my friend said that Ace King was favored in our game. Who do you think is right?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Many thanks,
Kent
Kent,

Pocket eights are 55% to 44% to win against A-K offsuit. You are right, but it really is just a glorified coin flip. If the A-K was suited, you were only 52% to 48% to win.
