Default Mike Caro is the man, but
How can I have a better chance of being dealt pocket Kings, rather than pocket Aces?

At least that's what I'm reading from that link.

To me it's simple math. There are 4 of each of the 13 ranks. 52 cards. To hit any pair I've still gotta hit two of the 52. How does the rank come into play?

Im gonna have to agree that that table looks wrong. Because the probability of getting Aces or dueces is exactly the same. Can you explain?

The odds expressed mean any of the pairs between Kings and Jacks

Exactly, that part means getting a pair of Kings, Queens or Jacks, any of the 3 as opposed to one particular pair. 220-1 is the number I have heard to be dealt a specific pair AA or 22 or any in between.

And by the way, never question Caro when it comes to numbers.

Yeah, i got a second look at the chart and finally put two and two together. Then, I didn't give a fuck because the chart doesn't help me anyway.

Wasn't questioning Caro, but either I was stoned or the information wasn't presented in the best manner. I guess I was questioning myself as to what the hell I was missing?

Yes, what he said. Obviously the odds of being dealt KK, QQ or JJ are going to be 3 times the odds of being dealt AA. 220:1 / 3 = 73ish:1.
