Re: unbeatable game?
I think there is a lot of misinformation being thrown about this thread, so I wanted to clear some things up with actual numbers.
Big pairs are still the best hands in a game where you have 6-7 people playing to the river with anything. Suited connectors go up in relative value, but they are still fairly far down the list.
I used Wilson's software to test the following. 6 random hands, all show down.
AA - 48.43% (win rate)
KK - 41.9
QQ - 36.82
JJ - 32.45
AKs - 31.09
AQs - 29.6
87s was above the cut-off (win% > 16.66%) but not by much.
Before I get slammed, I realize that this doesnt factor that 87s, will only cost you pre-flop when you miss the flop, and AA, will cost you the whole way without knowing if you are drawing dead. I also, know that you are against better than the pure average hand (top 60% hand).
But it doesnt change the fact that you should still cap the betting with AA, and still get tremendous value for it. If AA was getting broke 80% of the time, Id listen, but 50/50 against 6 players sounds like my kind of deal.
