Default Re: STOP OVERPLAYING POCKET PAIRS AND WHINING WHEN YOU LOSE WITH THEM!

I don't pretend to be a wizard and I only have a few posts, but the idea the overcards are a 3:1 favourite versus a pocket pair is silly. The whole argument seems to be two dimensional: your outs versus mine. It's actually three dimensional. You can hit your outs (6 YOU WIN), I can hit my outs (2 I WIN), or nobody hits anything (I WIN). Of course it's more complicated than just that, but the fact remains that the pair does not need to improve.

you is not so good at teh mathematics, eh?

he brings up a good point

you have 3:1 outs, but he has 2:1 ways to win (he can improve or stay, you can just improve).

When you combine those you are only a 3:2 favorite.

This may revolutionize the way the game is played.
