1) 9h7sAc (open-end straight plus three-flush)
2) 9h7s8c (open-end straight plus second pair plus three-flush)
The problem here is that, while the second flop gives you more outs, it is also problematic insofar as you will occasionally have to split the pot with another ten if a jack or a six comes down. If it was just heads-up the second flop would of course be preferable over the first, but I think it might be possible that, when facing a certain number of players, you would prefer the first flop because the danger of having to split the pot with another ten becomes to high. Is that true, and if yes, how many opponents seeing the flop (letīs say in a loose-passive game for one bet) are the threshold?
