Strange Odds
In the case of XY v. XZ (Y>Z), where both have straight possibilities (i.e. AQ v. AJ), XY is a 3:1 favourite.
When XY v. XZ (Y>Z), where X can make a straight with Y but not with Z (i.e. AQ v. A7), XY is only a 5:2 favourite.
My odds may be incorrect, but why is a hand like AQ less of a favourite against A7 than it is against AJ?
