Re: QJ suited vs 88 or 22
[ QUOTE ]
Why is 88 favored over 22 vs the QJ suited? I asked this on the post about Negraneau, but maybe a new post will get a bit more attention.

There are more straights involving 88, but that is not the dominant factor. It is easier for 22 to get counterfeited by a board like 95533. On that board, QJ missed, but the pair of 2s doesn't play. 88 would.
QQ does better than 88 over AK, even though 88 makes many more straights. Again, the 88 is more likely to get counterfeited.
