Re: How many strategically distinct flops exist?
[ QUOTE ]
For example, Ah7h2h is not distinct from As7s2s, since any hand on the first can be mapped to a corresponding hand on the second.
I have a number, but Im curious if its correct.

It depends on the definition of "strategically equal".
I'm pretty sure that for me the rainbow boards QQ2, JJ2, JJ3, and many more are strategically equal for me. A good definition of equality might come from the different hands that exist on this board with the pocket cards. In all of them, a player can have 4 of a kind, an unlikely full house with two different cards, a full house with a pocket pair of the low card, trips with different qualities of kickers, two pairs with a pocket pair, two pairs made with the board's low card and a kicker, or the board pair with three kickers.
None of them can have a flush draw or a straight draw.
