Default Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table

Glad this thread keeps getting bumped. Reminded me of something I heard last time I was at the table:

Guy: Did you know that 2 pair makes a full house more often than a set?
Me: Hahaha... yeah I guess it seems like that sometimes.
Guy: No seriously. It's easier to fill up with 2 pair than if you have a set.
Me: Um... well I don't think so. A set has 10 outs, and 2 pair has 4 outs.
Guy: That's what you'd think, I know. But really, if you work out the odds long enough, you'll see. Trust me, you want 2 pair.
Me: OK. You're probably right. No wonder I keep losing with sets.
Guy: See? I told you, man.
