Re: Average Hands

Q7 is used as the median hand in a heads up battle against a random hand. In other words, if you are the SB and it's just you and the BB, you can move all in and it will be a +EV play.

This would only be true if your opponent was not allowed to look at his cards. There is a table in NLHTaP that has the S-C numbers, which tell you at what stack sizes it is +EV to move all-in with each starting hand (assuming 1/2 blinds and your only options are all-in or fold).

With respect to that table, obviously if your stack size in relation to blinds is smaller, you can open shove with a wider range because of the pot odds.
However, the uniqueness of Q7 is that since it is 50% against a random hand, you can move in with any stack size (against one other random hand) since the blinds will always give you slightly better than 1:1 odds.
If I am wrong here, I would be gracious if somebody could point out my error.
