Heads Up Proposition

[The Spy]

Think what you like, but no, I didn't expect anyone to take me up on it, nor am I interested in playing. What interests me is the intransitive nature of poker and I was hoping someone might be able to provide more insights as to why. Yes, I did discover this when trying to rank the hand 2-2. It's not hard to notice that QJs is the strongest unpaired hand against 2-2, yet QJs obviously isn't the strongest unpaired hand.

Drop the arrogance and don't post if you're not willing to provide any insights.

I didn't steal anything from anybody. In fact, about as much Caro as I've ever read is browing through his tells book in the bookstore. God forbid someone besides a published poker author try to investigate hands.

What insights are you looking for? It seems like a pointless problem unless you're a complete noob.

Pokergrader already provided insights. I'll repeat them if you'd like: QJd > 22 > A3o > QJd.

As far as your prop/my arrogance goes.....

You're a pretty bad double-talker.

3. We both go all-in pre-flop, for say $1000.

Anyone up for it?

Is a blatant insult to the intelligence on this forum. Nice try though. Find another group of 'suckers'.

Spy,

this isn't going anywhere, and your $1000 coinflip offer is a sucker's bet, as was pointed out. Please feel free to start another thread discussing hand playability vs hot-cold equity, hopefully without propositioning the forum to take a -EV bet for $1000. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
