You guys are right I guess. In the appendix of Strategies to Beat Small Stakes Plo from Matthias Plum he provides a table of common hand vs hand scenarios. Vs. a straight he lists 2pair with having 24%. Vs. a flush, however, with only 19% (with 2 cards to come in both cases).
So I put it into Omaha Equilab as follows:
However, if I choose specific hands without meaningful backdoor draws, the equities are similar:
The first results are still a bit surprising though, as you'd imagine that a straight comes, on average, more often with cards that block a 2pairs outs to improve and would therefore perform better vs. a 2pair than a flush does. I'd be interested in what you guys think the reason is for this.
And what's the conclusion in general? As long as I can't rule out meaningful backdoor draws, I assign my myself in a 2pair vs straight scenario ~24% equity and if I can rule them out, I take ~20%?
