Default Re: Median Best Holdem Starting Hand

True, but I think there are some dangers of misleading yourself if you go very far with it on starting hand selection in most situations. For one thing, once the betting has started, you're no longer dealing with random hands. For another, it's hard to factor in the classic distinction between hands that will "win lots of small pots" and those which will win the occasional big pot with only minimal losses when you hit.

Due to the continued information deficit UTG, I'm definitely still not interested even in playing AJo (and I'm pretty much on the fence as to AJs) at a full table.

However, another context to which it might well imo become more applicable is shorthanded, where it could give you a much better idea of where you're likely at on hands where you might consider trying a blind-steal and where huge hands after the flop are likely to have less leverage for winning huge pots.
