Ill let you choose 1 of 3 hands

I heard this too - don't you change your option of what you take after you've heard what we do?

[rcon]

haha - I voted before reading the question, and natually took AKo (coz that is what you want in any sit ).

On reflection, I can't see a situation where you'd take anthing other than the pair. Fav against AK by what, 51:49 and would have to be fav againt the unmatched cards, so it really doesn't matter what you choose.

And probably should check you mean "run the board" and not "play the hand out" - we are talking flip 'em and run the board to showdown aren't we?

JTs > 22.
22 > AKo.
AKo > JTs

Playing 3 handed and you have to pick one of them, which do you pick?

JTs > 22.
22 > AKo.
AKo > JTs

thanks aaron, for ruining it you IDIOT.

i did say that if you know what is going on, dont spoil it


but yeah, i guess i better give the answer


its basically a trick question, because as aaron has pointed out, it doesn't matter which hand you pick, i will always be able to pick a hand that is a favourite over yours

if you change JT to unsuited, then it makes a pretty big difference.

Oh come on, everyone knew that already.

no, it was pretty obvious that some people didnt

if i say dont spoil it, then dont spoil it.

douche

I thought the question was more indepth than that, I thought the idea was to pick the hand that doesn't have the most amount of -EV against the better hand.

So therefore I picked 22 as I have a better edge with this hand than with the other two.
