Default Re: What are the top 10 starting hands in holdem?

I'm sorry, let me state that a little more clearly.

8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] vs. 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
52.5% vs. 47.5%

50% vs. 50%

52.5%-50%=2.5%
50%-47.5%=2.5%

Therefore, suited cards compared to (not versus) their unsuited cousins only have a 2.5% edge.

So the "maximum advantage" of plaing suited cards as opposed to the exact same rank cards unsuited is only 3%-4%. If any of that suit are out in other hands its even less.
