Re: 2-7 Split Pot Offer
Usually somebody is giving up about 4-5% of their pot equity in such a deal. If the players hate variance so much, why are they playing triple draw? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
2346/2345 etc. are actually worse that 2347 because the outs that make a straight.
Some random confrontations:
7432 vs 8652: 0.543 vs. 0.457
7432 vs 6432: 0.562 vs 0.438
7542 vs 9632: 0.553 vs. 0.447
8742 vs 9632: 0.537 vs. 0.463
8742 vs. T632: 0.564 vs. 0.436
8742 vs. 6532: 0.515 vs 0.485
8742 with paired 8 and 7 vs 6532: 0.563 vs. 0.437
I would generally not to take such a deal because it would encourage somebody to draw rough against me without having to sacrifice last-draw equity by doing so.
Take the deal if you believe you are the one drawing rough or to a straight (or flush!). Tend to reject it if you have paired cards that you believe your opponent needs. Reject it if you think they are only offering with their weak draws, or you believe you can successfully outplay them after the draw.
