    Default (LC) One of the most inexplicable calls I've seen in a while

    Erm, I guess he dominates 32o, he's slightly ahead of 42o and he's got an overcard if opp has 22 or 33, but beyond that I sort of struggle to see what he's ahead of...must be either a misclick or his "favourite hand".

    ofcourse, its especially ahead vs pocket Aces because those are never suited.

    Wait, I am confused, unsuited cards can make flush 2 ways, so actualy they are 2 to 1 favorite vs suited cards, so its a bad call

    Im_new, I assume u were joking, if you were serious post it and I will seriously explain why it is a bad call

    I've been away for a week and this is the first thread I see... I put the odds of this statement being a level at about 50/50. It either is some sort of trick, or it isn't imo.

    FTR =2+2 BBV it would seem...

    Look, seriously, a suited hand has 3 ways to make the best hand, a 2,4 or flush. An off suit hand can only make pairs, in this case an ace or ten.

    Because of that the suited hand is a 3 to 2 favorite or in math terms 3:2. Taipan I find it funny that the mod of the sng forum does not know this. Frankly, I think it's grounds for removal of modship. I for one, would gladly accept the new position but would in turn force all of the sng players to learn mtts. Thank you for your time.

    Wait for my postcard
    It was clearly a bluff call, one of the lesser used strategies of the true poker champion.

    AND THEY WERE SOOOOTED!

    3:2 that's the same as 300:200, right?

    By the way you guys forget that he can also make a straight flush, full house or quads, which is really good.
