Default Re: Best Hand? PLO8 preflop

[ QUOTE ]
Here's a poll for you. Without plugging them into twodimes, which hand do you predict is the Expected Value favorite ie which would win more of the pot on average?

EDIT - when played against each other ie 3 players with these hands in plo hi/lo 8

Hand 1: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="green">weak low, low pair, partial mid straight </font>

Hand 2: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="green"> plenty of straights, possible low, weak flush </font>

Hand 3: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="green"> A25 low, AJ high, flush possible with reduced chance </font>

Interestingly enough, the A766 hand wins the most when played against these two specific hands, but the AJ52 hand outperforms it heads-up. Probably because the 345 combo prevents the A25 from winning the low half of the pot when an A or 2 comes.

That said, I'll take the AJ52 hand, thank you.
