I have just realised i do not know how to work out the odds of one hand over another preflop?
I assume it is to do with potential outs, but i noticed on another thread; AK is 3-1 favorite over AQ. I assume this would be because AK would win should no cards pair, but i don't understand where these figures come from, could someone give me some pointers please?

What the program I use does is it takes the two hands you enter and plays out a couple million hands and sees which one wins more often, then it gives you the estimate of one hands chance of winning over another.

its not really about potential outs pre flop...(it can be of course in theory but for practical purposes i wouldnt think in terms of "potential outs" till i saw a flop imo)
true AK would win should no cards pair but it will also win if cards do pair or a set comes up...
more importantly, AK dominates AQ in that the only thing that can really help AQ is a queen(as long as its not w/a King) or a long shot flush/straight draw...besides that it will probably lose or at best tie when two pair/full house hit which is another long shot...
