The difference between 47 and 45 is not really all that much. It is infact two straights; and that is all.

Yes, but you rarely flop a straight, you flop straight draws. There are 3 ways to flop an open-end straight draw with 45 but only 1 way with 47. To me, that makes 45 around 3 times more valuable. 47 is junk as far as straight draws go unless you flop 56x, which only happens about 0.6% of the time.

45 flops an oesd on 23x, 36x, 67x boards.
45 flops a guthshot on A2x, A3x, 37x, 68x, 78x boards.

47 flops an oesd on 56x boards.
47 flops a gutshot on 35x, 36x, 58x, 68x boards.

That would be fine if you folded every time you did not hit a straight or a straight draw but straight making is only a small part of your hands potential. Flush making and two pair making are atleast as big a part of it.

I will gaurantee that 47s is not profitable in the long run... GAURANTEE.

That is a VERY stupid statement. Give me 1000x the BB stacks and any hand vs some opponents can be +EV.

any 2 can be profitable in the correct situation.

the problem w/ your statement is the games that we play in r 100bb capped, and that cuts down on the implied odds u speak of. imo sc's are way overrated in ssnl...

"

True that.

should i even respond to this?

Ok... feel free to play 47s whenever you are up against 1000bb stacks and an opponent who is willing to stack off with one pair.
