[snoopy1239]

What were you doing calling with 7-4 anyhow?

 

[Robert HM]

I didn't want to scare others off 

[Jim-D]

Thats what u get for slow playing.   

[Robert HM]

sigh

[snoopy1239]

That's a really dangerous flop. If you're not beaten by a set or top two pair, your hand is very vulnerbale to potentiall staight and flush draws.

[Robert HM]

But my promised boat failed to arrive. I am a non-believer form this point on!

[temp0r]

I didn't want to scare others off 

yes you did.
look at the possibile draws on the board. 2 pair really isn't the kinda hand to slow play. you need some information. what if someone slow plays a set? or makes a draw? then you're fucked.

[ifm]

Sorry mate i don't think you get the joke, there is a whole sect on here that "jokingly" believe that 74 (especially offsuit) is the greatest hand in poker.
This is a continuation of a long running "joke" about the hand.

[Robert HM]

Thanks ifm, perfectly put.

[Indestructable]

Yes but there is only one way to play 4-7.

All In pre flop.

 Nah, slowplaying works, too:

Wow! All in! I've never had the guts for that, called raises with 7 4 but I don't think I'd call or go all in! 

[moritzey]

I'm about to start crying - I got the monster again, and I failed it:
Got the opportunity to call an all in but I didn't. Stupid me.
