Pocket 22 Odds at a 2-Player Table

Simulated across 100,000 random deals, Pocket 22 wins 49.35% of hands against 1 random opponent, ties 0.8% of the time, and loses the remaining 49.85%. A completely random hand would win about 50% of the time at this table size — Pocket 22 is close to what a completely random hand would win at this table size.

As a pocket pair, Pocket 22 starts with immediate made-hand value and doesn’t rely on the board pairing to stay ahead, though with more players in the hand there’s more chance someone draws out with two pair, trips, or better.
