1. If two people (heads up) are playing, what is the most dominated hand (worst chance that one persons cards will win against another persons cards) preflop?

answer will come if no one gets it.

 

[fatdaddycool]

7-2 off suit

7-2 off suit

nope, thats not it..

 

[nagrawa]

23 off

22 vs AA

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

22 vs AA

you're kidding right. 22 vs AA isn't nearly as bad AK off vs. AA.

22 vs AA is 17%

AK off is only 6%

to answer the original posters questions 2-7 off is the worst, but it might change in a heads up match, but i can't figure out how and don't want to spend the time on something trivial.

sklansky once asked a great question. if you each have ten million in chips and you are playing nl and the blinds are one dollar and two dollars, AND you can see the other players cards face up preflop AND he will automatically call any all in raise you make, why is it wrong to wait for AA and move in against a hand like 4-8?

I guess I dont understand the question? Go figure!

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

i kinda agree with agent, that you didn't word the question right, but if you are looking for hands its similar to KK vs K2 off, where one of the kings in your hand is the same suit as the 2 in the other guys hand.

 

[Agent 0659]

I know the Poker calculator says AK off is worse, but how? 22 essentially has 2 outs? AK off has 3 outs with the remaining Kings, although it needs two of them, but also a lot more str8 combos. Doesnt make any sense.

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

, but also a lot more str8 combos.

the same straight combos.... 2 each really

with AK
9 10 J Q

10 J Q A


with 22
3 4 5 6

A 3 4 5

 

[Agent 0659]

Youre right! As to your question, Do we play pots if there is no all in?

 

[Agent 0659]

And I guess you would wait for him to have AK off then? Or at least an underpair.

no you don't play pots, but i already ruined the question by giving the answer. the point is that the blinds are at one dollar two dollars meaning you can wait forever basically for the ideal situation to come up. wait for KK vs. K2 off and you have to have one king in the same suit as his deuce. gives you the maximum advantage of winning at like 95 percent or something. AA vs and underpair is only like 80 percent. i think original poster is asking something similar to this.

 

[Agent 0659]

Got it.

 

[loudog]

A A vs A 7

 

[Agent 0659]

Why would anyone show me their cards though before the flop? DUH! Pretty stupid, espaecially for 10 million.

 

[SpursDynasty]

It is indeed KK vs K2.... Its around 4.7%

with the 2 being the same suit as one of the other kings.

here is another one, this one is harder.

What is the worst starting hand in Hold'em that can make the unbreakable nuts on the flop? Meaning you get the worst holecards and then recieve a flop where you can't be beaten by the turn or the river???
