Do you mean only 3max, or HU also?

seems ok, a bit awkward but about a coin flip to catch two pair+ J2

if you can set a 3rd live card there in first pull and say you had 8 outs with 9 cards to come, you'd be in the 60's to runner runner

not great but if you're dedicated to the FL then there's your odds.

I'd prob go with a conservative

x
QJ
KK2

or possibly very adventurous:

KK
2
QJ

2/KK/QJ or empty/KK2/QJ, no reason to waste the J on bottom when you can get 6 on top on a late pull.

He would always set this A / 3 3 / J T to mantain small pairs middle / big pairs back... my approach is A / T / 3 3 J, don't know how to study this but my intuition says having the 2 extra outs for trips/ fh must be worth something? Is this correct? Is there a case where playing 3 3 middle is correct except when 3's are not live? Also, does one of the sets maximize chances for FL?

Ty

Blank / AT/ 33J

With A / T / 33J, you need a lot to happen for FL. Another A, 2-pair+ in middle, and improve bottom. Hard to make the middle work without putting too much stress on the bottom (say... TTT). Minimum # of cards for FL is 5 (ATT3J, or ATTJJ, or AT-99/88/77/66/55/44/22- 3/J).

My way, still need to improve bottom, 1-card (A) to improve middle, and KK or QQ up top. Also with bottom improved, can hit a T in the middle and score points with 66-99 up top. Minimum # cards for FL is 4 (3AKK or JAQQ does it).

Look for the path to FL that requires the fewest cards.

As he plays progressive your approach is not correct I'm araid.

I seem to get in this situation quite a bit and am looking for some advice on what the optimal play would be.

First to act:

Ad, 5d, 5h, 10h, 3h,

I think I see two ways to play this:

1st option:

Ad 5d
5h 10h 3h

2nd option:

10h 3h
5d 5h Ad

Thanks!

Is it Pineapple QQ+?
I usually go:
3A
55T
But only thing I play is 1v1 with Wild Card, so I don't know.

Pineapple QQ+

After thinking about it more I think this is probably best.

A3
5510

Should you never think flush on the bottom here?

^ this, or depending on the score (we play straight OFC w/FL HU at work), I might entertain the following and depending on the next pull, place it on the bottom row for additional 2 pr outs.

10xx
Axxxx
553xx

How would you set:

OOP

1.

3332A

X
A2
333

or

X
A
3332

What is the 2 was in fact a J/T, would this make a difference to your set?

2.

OOP

Qc 9c 6c 7h As

I tend to set as:

X
A7
Q96ccc

3.

On board 2 and on a set of

X
A7
Q96ccc

How would you set the following pull?

Opponent has 55J42

Ks 10s 8d

Thanks
