cuz if an ace comes you have a chance for the nut flush and low, you may well be behind but have an excellent draw Smiley
especially for the low against someone with A 2.

I think the problem with that hand is that if the ace flops, then, although you've got the nut low in your sights, you're probably going to be losing the high to top pair. Drawing to trips kings or a low straight is a longshot and therefore makes it tricky for you to win the whole pot. If I was to play a hand like this, I'd rather have something like JT with my 23.

Plus, you don't have the nut flush draws.

I'm no pro tho and know very little.

yes you do have the nut flush draws, it's just a hand i like is all.
I like any connecting hand at high, just preference.

IFM hands 1,2 and 3 are profitable hands but hand 4 has to be played with extreme care infact so much so that any new player to the game should avoid at all costs

Hand2 is a good un as are any connectors in fact (remember this is high).
As for 4, i agree totally Iron it's a good 'sneaky' hand. Not worth too much preflop but can win huge pots post.
