Poker Trivia Questions And Answers For Kids

Assuming a pocket pair isn't an option, the best hand to beat pocket 2s is mid-level suited connectors. If you pair either card, you win; if you make a flush, you win; if you make a straight you win. Here, all four of the hands listed have equal chances of making a flush or a pair, but 10-9 has the greatest chance of making a straight.
With 10-9 (approximated over one million simulations):
Chance of making a straight by the river: ~9%
Chance of making a flush by the river: ~6%
Chance of pairing either card by the river: ~48%
Chance of the opponent not making a set: ~81%
Chance of pairing a card and opponent not making a set: 0.48*0.81 = ~39%
Chance of making a straight, flush, or pair (and the opponent missing a set) by the river 1-(1-0.09)(1-0.06)(1-0.39) = ~48%.
Pocket deuces are about a 52-48 favorite against a 10-9 suited.
Note that these calculations are approximate and do not take into account any of the lower-probability outcomes, such as straight-flushes, full houses, the 2-2 hitting a straight or a flush, etc.
