Title: Help me clear this one up.
Post by: Indestructable on March 30, 2007, 08:32:46 PM
I was talking through an exit hand earlier and did some maths and stumped to understand something. Sure I am missing something obvious here, any ideas?

 Kd Ad
is not the favourite against
 3c 3h

However

 Kd Ad
is the favourite against
 2c 2h

Buy why?

there is slightly more possibilty of making a straight with the 33 than it is with 22 - but not much ;)

Of course, there is now a better chance of hitting a straight with 3 4 5 6 7 than hitting A 2 3 4 5 as an ace has gone.

there are only 2 possible straights you can make with 22 - A2345 and 23456

there are 3 possible straights you can make with 33 - A2345, 23456 and 34567

So in other words my reply made no sense and has been corrected by a poker playing monkey?

Take your pick:

The Apprentice Monkey
The Weakest Monkey
Monkey or no Monkey
Who wants to be a Chimpanzee

Struggling at this point.   ::)

That has just completely shocked me. Though it was only sooted connecters 78-JT that were favourite over twos, oh and AA sometimes :P

Don't forget the double pair board chances change ever so slightly as well, 7722x 33 wins, 7733x 22 loses.
