Brag: Making 2-7 +EV
There is a common misconception within the poker community that 2-7 is the worst hand in poker.
However, by assuming this, you fail to recognise to the big distinction between 2-7o and 2-7 suited.
Here is an example of how playing 2-7 suited in position can win you large pots.

A lot of people don't know the value of merging their ranges together. It's something I'm still working on myself and just wanted to thank you for starting this thread.

This guy... I was just reading through the stickies actually, you know the one that says no more stupid memes, and in it it says, well, no more stupid memes and lists "ban" as being a punishable offense.
Hmmm I wonder who would fall under that category?

Wikipedia describes a meme as "an idea that is propagated through the World Wide Web. The idea may take the form of a hyperlink, video, picture, website, hashtag, or just a word or phrase"
It also goes on to say that you are a tool.
Oh and to ***.
