Re: QTo favorite over 2\'s
[ QUOTE ]
Hi. If I had to be in a preflop race to the river with one of these hands, I would take the pair of twos with NO hesitation! On coinflip type races I would always prefer the one currently in the lead preflop. I agree that the odds favor the QTo very slightly. But that QTo (no matter how imposing it looks) HAS to improve to win...and the pair can do the job on its own. (This assumes that the board does not produce 4 of a kind.) Have a nice day!

This is an incorrect way of thing. You need to re-evaluate it, as it is 100% certain to be wrong. The other forumer's example with the T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] illustrates why this is the case. I personally cannot think of another example.
The board could produce 4 of a kind to render the 22 useless, but a much more common situation is the board double pairing (e.g. 55996) where the overcards' kicker comes into play.
