The odds of being dealt AK in Texas Hold'em is computed as follows:

  • The first card can be either an A or a K, a total of 8 possible cards out of 52 cards in the deck. So, the probability is 8/52 = .153846.
  • If you get an A on your first card, there are 4 Ks; if you get a K on your first card, there are 4 As. So in either case, if you get an A or a K on your first cards, there are 4 possible cards out of the remaining 51 cards that will make the AK hand, which is a probability of 8/51 = .078431
  • Now, multiply two probabilities and you have .0121.
To convert from probabilities into odds, divide the probability by (1 - probability). So, .0121 / (1 - .0121) = about 82 to 1.
