Default Re: WSOP last night and Sam Farha

I'm pretty sure the bigger reason is that you can make more straights with 77 than with 33, which is more important than blocking a wheel draw.

Either way, this only matters if you're planning on playing back at your opponent if you flop an oesd so the 7.3% only makes 77 more playable if you're going to put a move on. Obviously, in the Farha case as he was looking just to flop a set 33 is almost identical to 77.

Yeah you are right. I just tried running 77 v 33 when you strip the deck of eights and sixes and they perform basically identically.
