Chinese Poker 2-7 hands Played Recently $100 point

[karpov]

Here are two hands I played recently at the Bellagio. How do you play them?

1. 22344689TTJQK

2. 234567899QKAA

[Velocity]

1. TT942 86432 QJK
or 4422Q J9863 TTK
2. AAQ86 23457 99K
or 56789 2349Q AAK

i would normally play the one picked on top, but I don't know what's best. I have a case of the sucks, but I'm interested in seeing what others do.

You play 2-4, right? I will have to put an option in to calculate 1-6 values as well.

#1: 9TJQK 23468 24T and expect to lose $110 on average (-1.1 points, 7355 sample hands).

Nothing else is remotely competitive. 9TJQK 2368T 244 comes in at about -1.6 points. What an ugly hand.

#2: I think this is an obvious AA/99 split with the wheel in the middle.

I ran my calculator which seems to agree:

68QAA 23457 99K is worth -$29 (7377 sample hands), while
56789 2349Q KAA loses $47 instead.

(By accident I entered an A9874 flush. The AA/99 split is still best over 4789A-flush 23569 QKA, which is about -$39.)

(My 100K-hand experiment is still running and might actually converge. I will put up the 200K hands for both players eventually. I also started a 1-million hand sample which should provide better hand values, but that takes a while.)

In the first one you missed the interesting alternative of playing straight in the back, with 44 in front or without the pair in front.

Not legal. The front has to be weaker than the back.

Las Vegas and Commerce always 2-4. I never played 1-6
