Texas Hold'em Poker - Odds for Aces Before the Flop

Probably as much as any single other thing, we have to concern ourselves with probabilities that involve Aces. If we are holding a strong Holdem hand like a pair of Kings or Queens or similar starting hands with non-ace high cards, we usually don't want to see an ace flop. Many players that are normally careful about playing only good hands, will evaluate starting hands with an ace very liberally. For example, a player who would almost never play a K 6 offsuit from an early position, might look for excuses to play the hand if it had an Ace instead of a King. . Players often hang on to aces even when they probably shouldn't. These frequency charts can give you some insight into how often aces can impact certain parts of your game.
