Thanaks miplet, yes it is close for what I need (tournament style - head to head game) but is not exactly what I am looking for.
Because I need to know this percentage before any cards are dealt. - So finding this info will let me know if I am better by doing only the minimum bet when I am leading with more than a max bet (for example I have 3101 chips and my opponent only 2000 chips where the maximum bet is 1000) - see, from my example if I am trying to avoid a full swing which happens about 12% of the time, then I can not cover my opponent doubling down. So, I need to know the percentage on him winning with doubling down on whatever cards he gets before placing my bets, so before being able to see any cards.

Hi DonPedro. The answer to your question is yes, and more than that, I can tell you that I have learned from those that I am better with betting 900 in my above example (covering the low and high, and only letting the door open to full swing which is 12% - but this one is not exactly that case since I can still lose if I push and my opponent wins with his double down, so I assume this should be somwhere in the range of 14-14,5%). But there nobody told me the percentages, and my question was for someone who tell tell me what the percentage is exactly ? (I can only assume that is under 12%, ok and I agree, but I want to know exactly that number)
