The closest matchup turns out to be the same if we include ties or not.

Re: Two cards vs. one card - pointless pre-flop equity puzzler

I'm going to give out a hint here - the one-card hand is a face-card, and the two-card hand has no face cards in it.

5h4d vs. 7h is still in the lead.

I will give out another hint - the one-card hand is a queen.

Re: Two cards vs. one card - pointless pre-flop equity puzzler

This might actually not be pointless. In the Main Event, a player in the small blind (not noticing that UTG had raised), went all in. The big blind folded, so the player mucked his cards; one card was retrievable but the other was irretrievable.

One suggestion was that the player should have to play with the one retrievable card, vs. the UTG player.
