I like Rolf's article as it will definitely affect how I look at raggedy big pairs in the future.

However, one thing that I think was missed in the discussion of the original post was that Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is not completely ragged. You have a suited Queen as backup/blockers and the 4-2 can flop the nut str8 with flush redraw, or can act as blockers with a flop like Q53 vs somebody with a low wrap like A642.

This hand is very much like the Ks Kh 8s 6d hand Rolf talks about in his article, "What to look for in starting hands Part II: Pot Limit Omaha".

... this hand is playable in any position and for any reasonable amount- even though it's not necessarily good enough to reraise with.
