Posted by Pjot: Thanks for the information sir, but I was already informed of this very unfortunate fact.
If I have an underpair vs any two overcards, there is NO WAY one of the overcards doesn't come. If I'm lucky, it's on the flop, unlucky, it's on the river when I got my hopes up.
Only way I can win is if I hit a set, which should be around 20 % of the times, but strangely enough seems to be just a bit more often. (25 - 30). Very strange. I'm a set-guy, not a coinflip-guy...
A pair vs overpair situation is not really a coinflip...a coinflip is a situation where both players are roughly 50% to win, for example AK vs an underpair (the pair is a very slight favorite)

Yes, I know. That is why I wrote "an underpair vs ANY TWO OVERCARDS". I am very aware of that a pair vs overpais is roughly 20/80.
