Given the following facts, which of the two is a better start hand:
A-K-Q suited
or
K-Q-J suited
Given fact: All required cards for pairs, straights, and flushes, are completely live.
The intention I have here is to win, not draw a Royal Flush. Can the K-Q-J suited be considered better because of the open ended straight draw? Or, does it fall short of A-K-Q because one is more likely to pair the Ace?
Mr. Zee, I'd love to hear from you on this.
