AKs vs AKo (for math geeks only)
Hypothetical situation:
First hand of a sit and go, UTG goes all in, and you find As Ks on the button. Everyone folds to you and before you can stop yourself, you've pressed the "call" button. The blinds (10 and 20 say) fold. Your opponent flips over Ah Kd. Oddly enough, the site you're playing on allows "deals" between all in players before any further cards are dealt (I did say it was a hypothetical situation). Your opponent says "Go ahead, you take the blinds, I'll just take my 1500 back".
How do you feel about that?
You shouldn't actually be too keen on it -- according to PokerStove the odds are actually 52.5 : 47.5 in your favour, and your opponent is only "entitled" to 1440 of the 3030 pot.
So go ahead and see if you can squeeze another 50 chips out of him in the deal. Just don't come crying to me when, disgusted by your greed, he refuses and the flop comes down 2h 6h 9h!
