Default Re: Is a weaker hand ever preferable to a stronger one (assymetric inf

At first glance, I thought no.

But now that I consdier it, I think you can construct situations where this is true.

For example, you have JJ. The board is 9h 8s 2h 4c 7s. Assume you know from the betting or some read that your opponent must have had a heart flush draw or open-ended straight draw on the flop. Holding JJ significantly increases the chances that your opponent holds two hearts instead of JT. In this case, JJ is better than KK.
