Which two starting hands have the closest win % preflop?
Obviously I mean starting hands that don't have the same numerical value. The closest I could find doing random tests was this.
3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 49.72% a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] t [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 49.70%

Re: Which two starting hands have the closest win % preflop?
I remember reading somewhere that "pair is a favourite against everything else then a bigger pair"
But now I tested twodimes.net and found out that actually AT [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is favourite against 2 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (and most likely thats not the only one..) Can this be correct?

I thought it was something like 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] vs 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]?

Re: Which two starting hands have the closest win % preflop?
A pair is not always a favorite against overcards. It depends on how suited and connected the overcards are. I believe I read somewhere on this forum that 88 is the cutoff for a pair being 50% vs overcards, but I could be making it up, and I don't feel like checking twodimes.

Can this be correct? [/ QUOTE ] Indeed it is. One of my hobbies is running all sorts of hands through that simulator and as it happens, almost any suited connectors have a better chance than low pockets. They can even have one or even two gaps. Actually as long as the SCs are not right above the pair they will be a favorite. JTs is THE best hand against low pockets. Better than AKs because it can make a lot more straights. JTs beats pocket 7s and under. Hell your connecters don't even have to be suited to be the favorite sometimes. JTo beats 6s and under depending on the suits. 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] beats 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. [ QUOTE ] I thought it was something like 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] vs 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]? [/ QUOTE ] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 49.79% 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 48.80% According to http://simulator.pokertips.org/simulator.php at least. [ QUOTE ] are you assuming HU? drawing hands like suited connectors go plus EV with number of players due to their ability to take large potsoff a full table when they do hit. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, HU. I realized I left that out after posting, but I just assumed everyone would know what I meant.
