Poker is a game of decisions under uncertainty, and numbers are what turn a guess into a decision. This page collects every statistic that recurs in every hand: preflop probabilities, completion odds, hand-versus-hand equities, and the performance metrics professionals use to measure themselves.

Pocket aces: 0.45% (1 in 221). Any specific pair: exactly the same. Any pocket pair: 5.9%. AK including suited: 1.2%. AK suited only: 0.3%. Any two suited cards: 23.5%. A premium hand (AA–QQ, AK): about 2.6% — roughly once every 38 hands. These numbers explain why patience is not a style but mathematics. Recommended ranges are in the preflop chart.
Flush draw (9 outs): 35% by the river, 19% on the next card alone. Open-ended straight draw (8 outs): 31.5% / 17%. Gutshot (4 outs): 16.5% / 8.5%. Two overcards (6 outs): 24% / 13%. Combo draw (15 outs): 54% — sometimes a favourite against top pair. The 2/4 rule: multiply outs by 2 for one card, by 4 for two. Full detail on the outs page and pot odds.
Pair against two lower cards: ~83%. Pair against two overcards (77 vs AK): ~52% for the pair — the classic coin flip. Pair against a lower pair: ~81%. AK vs AQ: ~73% (domination). Suited vs offsuit, same hand: only about 2–4% extra. That last number surprises people — suitedness is worth less than it feels, but enough to justify opening from late position.

The most common mistake is drawing conclusions from 500 hands. In cash games you need 50,000–100,000 hands before results reflect skill rather than luck; in tournaments, 500–1,000 events. That is why bankroll management is not a suggestion but a survival condition — read bankroll management and variance in poker.
