AA vs J10

One of the most fun hands to play in Texas Hold’em is jack-ten, especially in suited guise. Although a rather marginal hand in most respects it can yield big rewards but playing it also has major downfalls too.The aim of this post is to give you an overview of odds and probability for the poker hands AA vs J10.

Odds and probability of AA vs 10J happening

You will be dealt suited jack-ten once every 332 hands, jack-ten offsuit every 111 hands and any J10 every 83 hands, the same odds of being deal a hand such as ace-king. When suited, jack-ten is ranked as the 16th best starting hand in Hold’em, ranked higher than pocket nines, king-queen offsuit and even ace-queen offsuit! However, when unsuited its strength is greatly diminished and it drops to a ranking of 47 making it worse than pocket fives and even queen-eight suited!

Jack-ten suited is the best suited connector you can play because whenever you make a straight using both of your hole cards it was always be the nut straight so you never have to worry about drawing to an expensive second-best hand. The hand is also very simple to play because you will either hit the flop hard or completely miss it, meaning you will have straightforward decisions to make post-flop. Another of jack-ten’s strengths is when it finds itself in a dreaded AA vs J10 situation.

Odds of winning when you have AA vs 10J

Whether focusing on Betfair Freerolls or not, no hand stands up well against pocket aces but jack-ten suited comes off better in an AA vs J10 situation than queens, kings or ace-king does. Whilst aces will beat kings at least 81.95% of the time, they will only win 78.84% of the time against suited jack-ten. This is because suited jack-ten has the advantage of being able to make straights and flushes more easily than a pocket pair.

Whilst those looking to Betfair Poker Live will acknowledge that it is rare to find AA vs J10 going against each other all in preflop (unless one player is short-stacked) you will quite often see the money going in on a draw heavy flop. As an example imagine you raise with JdTd from the cutoff and the big blind three-bets you. You call and flop a monster draw on a Kd-Qd-7s board. In this situation you will still be an underdog but only 52.172% making it a virtual coinflip to win. Plus, if you make it to the turn and the turn is an ace there is no way that your opponent is folding his set whilst you sit there with the nuts and 78% equity! It is this scenario where J10 suited comes into its element.

Good times with 10J vs AA

J10 is one of my favorite hands in heads-up games and recently won me a substantial pot when I found myself in an AA vs J10 confrontation. My opponent had been playing pretty straightforward but was running really well until this particular hand. With blinds of $0.50/$1 he raised to $4 from the button and I called with JcTc. The flop was a pretty marvelous looking 7c-8c-9h, which not only gave me the nuts but a re-draw to the flush. I checked, my opponent bet $6 and I simply called. The turn was the ace of diamonds I bet out $12 hoping the ace had helped my opponent and it appeared it had as he quickly raised to $65! I then moved all in and he snap-called, turning over black aces. The river was the ten of diamonds and I raked in a nice pot.

After the evening sessions of bridge at the Palmetto Florida Regional Tournament (near Sarasota), dozens of bridge players visited the Hard Rock Casino near Tampa. I discovered one of the liveliest games on our planet there — $5-$10 no-limit hold’em with a mandatory $20 straddle.

My money-management strategy (everyone should have one) for that wild game was to have enough cash for four $500 buy-ins. My first buy-in alarmingly disappeared after about 20 minutes of play, when my pocket kings went down in flames. With about $400 in chips in front of me, I picked up the J 10 in the big blind. A rather active player on my left made it $50 to go.

I have heard that in the early days of hold’em, many experts considered J-10 suited one of the best hold’em starting hands. I have always thought of suited connectors as “suck hands” in no-limit, but they should be played occasionally. So, I called in four-way action. A nice flop hit the table Q 9 3. So, I had nine flush cards and six straight cards. I checked to the preflop raiser on my left to see what he would do. He shoveled $125 into the pot. The other players folded around to me. He had close to $1,000 in front of him, and I knew from his past performances that if I called now, he would probably bet more than my remaining $200-plus in chips on the next round. And, I would want to call.

So, I dramatically said, “All in,” and pushed in my stack — his $125 plus about $230 more. He gave me a dirty look and then tossed his hand away. Although I was quite happy that he folded, with 15 outs and two cards to come, I was actually a slight favorite (about 55 percent) to hit a straight or flush. And I also might have won with a lesser hand.

About an hour later, with about $1,200 in chips in front of me, I picked up the J 10 in the small blind. There were four limpers around to me, and I called the additional $15. The big blind also called, but the forced straddler, who had been playing almost every hand, raised $107, going all in. Surprisingly, the four limpers all folded around to me. And to my left, I could see that the big blind was holding his two cards as if he was about to toss them.

With about $250 in the pot, if the raiser did not have a high pocket pair, I liked my odds. So, I made the speculative call. We both showed our cards; he had pocket eights. A 10 appeared on the flop, and I managed to win.

According to Mike Caro’s Poker Probe, it was roughly a coin toss. My J-10 suited would win about 49.8 percent of the time against pocket eights, but would be a slight favorite against all lower pocket pairs. If he had two overcards — for example, A-Q — I would win only about 40 percent of the time. But note that even a 40 percent win rate would make my $107 a good investment. If I put up the $107 10 times, and won four times (4 x $247) and lost six times (6 x $107), my average win would be about $34.

Even in the worst-case scenario — for example, against pocket kings, where J-10 suited would win only about 20 percent of the time — my average loss would be about $36. So, since I was not playing against an opponent who would raise preflop only with a high pocket pair, I had made a good investment.

We all know that you don’t have to be a math major to win at poker, but in no-limit hold’em, there oftentimes are situations in which it really helps to have some knowledge of the actual odds.
