Three-Player Power Ratings in Texas Hold ’Em

Introduction

The following table ranks the top hands in a 3-player game. This table assumes that all players stay in until the end.

Explanation of column headings:

Cards: Initial two-card hand.
Probability of win: Probability that this hand will win, or tie for the win.
Average win: This is how much the player will win on average, including his own bets, if the player does win. This is less than 3 because sometimes the player will have to split the pot.
Expected value: This is how many units the player can expected to win (positive) or lose (negative) with this hand. For example if the player had a pair of aces and contributed $1 to the pot then the player could expect to have a net win of $1.20.
Probability: Probability of getting this hand to begin with.
Additive probability: Probability of getting this hand or any stronger hand to begin with.

Methodology:

This table is the result of a random simulation of 68,612,544,000 games and assumes all players stay in until the end of the hand.

The following table shows my power rating for each initial 2-card hand in a 3-player game. The numbers are on a 0 to 40 scale. Use the top table if you have a pair, the middle table if your cards are suited, and the bottom table if your cards are unsuited. Except for a pair,look up your high card along the left and your low card along the top.
