Default Re: 2-7 TD Heads Up

I'm not sure that knowing what the top 25% of hands is is as useful in TDL as it is in hold'em.

In TDL, you're better able to estimate the relative value of your hand. If your opponent drew one card on the second draw and you drew 2 and made a 97432, you know you have the best hand a majority of the time. If your opponent has been pat, you're less likely to have the best hand.

Therefore, I think the real trick is estimating the strength of your hand relative to the range of hands your specific opponent is likely to hold. For example, in a ring game, I discount some opponents chances of winning because I know they love rough one card draws.
