Default Re: Two quotes from two books, concerning high hands in shorthanded po

I ran a few twodimes simulations to see how high hands do in 3-handed pots. I tried to make the simulations such that this is a 10-handed table, from which 3 people are in the hand. So the low hands I'm including are quite good.

KQJTr is definitely one of the lesser high hands, and it seems to do well against almost all but the very best strictly low hands (e.g. A348ds). A much better high hand, KKAQr fares better than average even against the better low hands.

If, however, there are two high hands and one low hand in the pot, the low hand is by far the favourite.
