Anyone know how to calculate this?
It's easy with 2 hands all in. However when there is an A,B, and C hold em hand preflop how do you calculate a specific finishing order, such as A in 1st, B 2nd, and C 3rd?
Maybe there is an online calculator that does it but I couldn't find it. Thanks

Cycle through all 5 board cards, that is 46!/(41!*5!) = 1.4 million showdowns. Sum up all results in the 10 possible categories, and you are done.

http://twodimes.net/poker/ lets you enter as many starting hands as you want -- however it only tells you the overall winner.

Poker Odds Calculator
If PA1, PB1, and PC1 are the respective probabilities of each player finishing 1st, then the probability of player A finishing 2nd and 3rd are (ignoring ties):
PA2 = PB1*PA1/(PA1+PC1) + PC1*PA1/(PA1+PB1)
PA3 = 1 - PA1 - PA2
Put this in a spread sheet I suppose if you want a program to do it for you.

This isn't what OP asked I think. He wants specific breakdowns of how often each hand will finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Unfortunately, I am unaware of a program that does this calculation for you.

I'm not real familiar with horse racing but what I'm asking is the probability of a hold em trifecta. 88 coming in 3rd, AK 2nd, and A10 in 1st
