Texas Holdem Hands

Some Texas Holdem Poker hands may not be quite as profitable as you think! For example if you get dealt an Ace Eight offsuit, statistically you are likely to lose money on the hand rather than win. The following table is an analysis of over 120 million real money hands played on a major poker site recently. 

The hand abbreviations are pretty straightforward, A for Ace K for King etc. The profitability column is the interesting one. If the figure is negative, the probability is that you will lose money with this hand. If it's around zero it could go either way and if it's positive, that is above zero, the chances are that you will win with the hand. The last column is the number of times the hand has been dealt out of about 120 million hands. 

As you see the hands fall into groups, with the suited hands the least likely to be dealt and two different offsuit cards the most likely. This is what we would expect as the cards can only be the same or different and the same suit or different. Whether the cards are consecutive or not has no bearing on the probability of the Texas Holdem poker hands being drawn.
