Interestingly, 52o loses to 43s. It's not until you get to the feared 72o that it pulls ahead of 43s.

Why are you surprised that suited connectors would be a favorite against a 52o?

Not suprised really, just interesting. I didn't think it'd be that big a gap. I figured the 5 pairing when 4 or 3 also pairs would close the gap somewhat.

Until you get up around and 8 or 9 in your hand, you're playing the board enough that suited connectors easily rule. You get up to, like I said, 72o and the 7 plays often enough to win when both hands don't improve.

Just thought it was interesting.

I hate having to argue w/ people that 2-7 offsuit is not the worse hand in poker and that it dominates such hands as 23-26, but people believe what they are told that 2-7os is clearly the worst hand in poker... I love fishes.

they finally called one of the producers to run a hand simulator to find out that 9-5 os is a better hand than 8-2 of hearts and gavin won the bet that he took based on assumption.

Was it a producer or was it BJ Nemeth of Pokernews.com?
