Default Re: Why Two Dimes Data Is Wrong (Continued...)

On a related but completely separate note, twodimes is also misleading in terms of its playability.

For example,
Here hand A has a nut low draw with counterfeit protection and the nutflush draw.
Whereas hand B has bottom set.

I would MUCH rather have hand A, even tho it is only a tiny equity favorite. This because its very clear to see where it is in the hand. When it makes its hand it has the nuts and can bet heavily. When it misses it has nothing and can fold. Whereas hand B never knows where it is.

In practice, hand A will usually win much more actual $$ than hand B, even tho the equity is close.

This is so much an error in twodimes, obviously, but more in how people typically interpret twodimes.
