Hi sherbert,

And there remains the fact that unfortunately you will very rarely have the luxury of deciding whether or not to call a raise with KKQJds - in a database of just over 10,000 hands I've been dealt it just once! Needless to add, perhaps, I lost a bucketload with it. Ho hum.

Yes, and your point is well-taken. It's not as if I get to look down at my cards and say "Well, I'd rather call this with KKQTds...." I have what I have, and I have to make a decision on those cards and that situation.
I guess the only point I was making is that the side cards make a significant difference in the strength of a big pair hand. Perhaps I undervalue big pairs on Omaha, but I see a lot of people complaining (at the tables, not here): "I always lose with KK." Well, if your hand is KK83o ... the Kings aren't really worth much anyway, as I see it. On the other hand, with solid side cards, KKxx isn't that big of an underdog to even an AA hand.
