It doesn't seem like it, but 23QJ is a hand that will usually have many possibilities if you hit the key ace. For example, A5T has the nut low draw, wheel draw, and broadway draw. But if you hit the ace with KK23 your kings lose their value.
maybe cos i come from a plo8 background but 23jq is going straight in the muck for me. What boards can you scoop? you dont have a nut flush. even a45 board ur gonna check call due to higher straight possibilities or boat and wheel or flush and wheel possibilities.
A hand like 23QJ is not one where I'm playing a multi-way pot moseying around just calling and trying to scoop
It is an ace dependent hand so I'm playing it in shorthanded pots with wider ranges. When an ace flops, I typically have many possibilities and with those outs I can apply pressure and win many hands with no showdown or failing that escape with lows, wheels, broadways, or simply just a pair of queens or jacks
23QJ ain't AA23 though!
