Stud Hi (A startling finding)

[Red_Diamond]

I was looking over my records tonight in PT. You know the area where you can view your hands in increasing strength order, and the BB's you've made/lost.

I found something interesting in the fullhouse section. Just about everything is in the Green, until we look at the Tens-Full. Suddenly I take a big dip in the red.

Normally, you'd think Tens full would be a monster money-maker. I then took a look at my other stud-accounts I had, and also noticed the same thing, I'm in the red with Tens full. ARggh, I'm not even in the red with deuces full.

I then began to wonder. Is this just a statistical anomaly, or does everyone else suffer some sort of hit in this area? I have a theory to explain this. I suspect when I have three tens, the # of straights out there is so diminished, that when ever I get the ACTION that I think I want with my ten's full, I'm always getting a much higher bias in STRONGER hands (like other full houses/quads) etc. And conversely, there are less made straights that can pay me off for when I actually am ahead.

Or am I just full of it here?

[RustyBrooks]

How are you doing with 5s full? Although I guess you see less low straights than high in stud hi?

[Alchemist]

How big a sample are we talking here? Even if you'd played a ton of hands, I can't imagine you'd gotten Tens full that many times. And if you make a hand that strong and get beaten even just once, it's going to be for a big pot and enough to wipe out what you had profited prior with that hand.

[Red_Diamond]

The 5s full is in the Green. I guess I am just over-playing the Tens or something. I'll post a couple random ones for review maybe.

Here we go...

What is your sample size? How many hands have you played where you had tens full?
