Hi All--

OK, Presto is 55. It seems that people give this hand a bit more credit than I can understand. Am I missing something? Does Presto have some sort of magical chip-attractant built in? I just won 8.5 BB's with it, and I didn't hit a 5, straight, or flush.

Seriously, is this better than, say 66?

Hi Glen--

How's the weather in MA/MI? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

As I recall, someone posted a formula from RGP for rating starting hands, and you would add a point for Presto (giving it some advantage over other low pairs... not just lower pairs, I think). Just checking in case I'm missing something...

Thanks--
