Another poker puzzle

[aliensyndm]

OK you may have heard this one before, I'm not sure. I'll post it anyway.
It doesn't really have much poker educational merit as you don't really learn anything from it. But it is a good exercise in "poker thinking" whatever that is and you'll probably end up playing around with some odds calculators as well.

OK the scenario is.... you have pocket aces, the ace of spades and the ace of clubs. You are all in for a pot with three other players, A, B and C.
Now you are in the fortunate position of being able to choose their cards.
So what cards would you give the three other players to give you the most chance of winning the pot ? You can choose from any of the remaining 50 cards and each card can only be used once as if it were an actual game.

I'll plump for...

A - 2d, 7h
B - 2h, 7d
C - 2s or c, 7c or s

Giving AA a 93.7% pre-flop.

:think

[aliensyndm]

It's good but it's not right. At last I fooled someone !

[Doc]

is it KK, AKo, AKo

or maybe A6o, A6o and 66?

[aliensyndm]

Nope and nope.

[Beanie]

Hmmm, ok...I'll go for:

AA

A - 6c Ah

B - 6s Ad

C - 6d 6h

There's a few combos like this that give AA 93.9%.

Edit:

[aliensyndm]

Still wrong dude, there's better ones possible

[Beanie]

A - 9d Ah

B - Ad 9h

C - 9s 9c

Thats up to 94.1%...

:think

[aliensyndm]

It can be improved still. I can't actually remember if what I currently have is the best or not, but I can get the AA to 95.9%, I can't remember if that's the best or not though.

[Doc]

KcKs, Kh2d, Kd2h

[aliensyndm]

94.9% that one doc, good but no cigar

[aliensyndm]

Oh I had better say I nicked this puzzle from someone before he posts and accuses me of theft !

[keemanan]

a- joker , joker
b - rules for bridge , and any 2 (as he has to pick 2 up)

Have I got you stumped ? Want me to reveal the best I've managed so far ?

[Beanie]

I'd leave it just now incase some folk that haven't seen it yet fancy a go at it later on tonight, but I'm stumped (although Im not ruling out a wasted few hours tonight going round in circles again .)
