Default Re: Someone explain this to me

Posting blind.....

Because offsuit hands suck unless they're high. You could very well have to hit your hand twice, and you don't hit your hand well or make a straight often enough to make the 7-1 odds worthwhile.

The K4o hand is fairly simple. You almost never have more than one overcard to a steal range. It's usually either an over/under (when you're ahead) to two middles...or you're beat/dominated. The times you are ahead, you're only a 60/40 favorite and your hand plays terribly OOP against any semi-decent stealer.

If you don't believe me about the offsuit hands, go to pokerpatterns and run a graph filtered only for non-pocketpair offsuit hands.
