As for the top 2 being a flip someone else mentioned, top 2 is wayyyy ****tier in 5 card, like top 2 + open ended is usually going to be almost dead if u get it in vs 2 opponents, and bad shape vs 1. In 5 card, it is possible to have top set, nut wrap and nfd all in one hand, so in this context think about how bad top 2 is. If you're just checking it out, i would recommend being like vpip 13 and playing like a complete nit, which is still going to be profitable bc most 5 card action is insane, until you get a good feel for the game.
Yea I know 5card combinations get ******ed.. Have played some of it live. Flopped nut straight+2p+fd+redraw to higher straight and got it in. The other guy had same nut straight, higher fd, higher redraw-wrap (so my only actual redraw was 2pairs, and he had big wrap+fd redraw)
of course unique set up but says something about the game when one can flop the nuts with all redraws and have like 40% equity HU
