Re: Royal Hold\'em strategys
I don't see any use for TT or JJ:
Anything they hit is too vulnerable to be worth a tinker's damn and about the only time you'll win is the 1 in 50 or so times you hit quads.
Any hand with a J or T in it is in fact complete crap (For instance, AQ is a 57 - 43 favourite over QQ, while AJ is a 60 - 40 dog...TT is an underdog even against other hands with a T (including the lowly JT) while JJ is a dog against other every other J hand besides JT.), with the strongest ones becoming playable in shorthanded games against bad players and maniacs.
AK, interestingly, is a 60 - 40 favourite over KK, certainly due to the fact that aces make up a much higher proportion of the deck than they do in normal Hold'Em.
I don't favour raising pre-flop either: You betray the strength of your hand to the other players (Very few hands are mathematically sound to raise with in Royal Hold'em...), giving the donks less of an excuse to call you down with their underfulls and giving the strong players another way of outplaying you.
