Yeh I like it with the sets beating out the straights It makes for some intersting flops. Someone will have top 2, someone else a set and someone else the nut straght all on the flop more often than you'd expect.
Pocket pairs become a hell of a lot more valuable as a set on the flop is pretty nutted,
Plus, weird fact. J10s and AKs have the same equity roughly preflop.Think about how often JTs hits the flop, it almost never misses to at least have a pair or gut shot with pair. Knowing your equity in these weird spots is valuable.Like knowing how much more equity you have to hit hands like straights, knowing not to over Value 2 pair hands.
There's loads I want to learn and loads I keep picking up hera and there. But a good discussion group for it would be great. Because there are nearly zero good websites for info on this game.
We need to discuss this more! ITs a great game
