Just giving this game a try..got quite an interesting situation i thought i would share:

If you have AA and flop top set, then you can only be beaten by quads or a str8 flush.

E.g.

You: AA
Opponent: KQ

Flop: A T J

Even though your opponent has you beaten, you can still only lose to quads or a str8 flush. This is because (barring quads or str8-flushs) one of 2 things will happen:

1, The board will pair, and you now have a full house beating villian's straight.

2, The board will make the nut str8 and you will split the pot.

This just shows how strong AA is in this game..

Conversely, i think hands like TT and JJ are poor as you are pretty much always going to be drawing to 2 outs.
