ATo vs. A9o

[RandBriscoe]

I get what you're saying but is that weakness so pronounced? Does it justify a difference of 50%/40% between the two hands? My stats on AQ and AK are much closer (obviously) and a pair of Queens can lose to a pair of Kings...

ATo - 281 Hands - $122.61
A9o - 311 Hands - -$28.00

I agree that it's significantly weaker but surely, A9o if not played stupidly can be at least BE...

Maybe I'm wrong. Anybody else have their stats on this?

Your sample size on A9o is far too small to be of any value here. 311 hands, with a 5% VPIP is about 15 played hands.

Your ATo sample is a bit better, as 57% of 281 is about 160 played hands.

I think you're drawing a false conclusion ("significant loser with A9o") based on bad data (well... insufficient data).
