 This was a shock to me when I saw the numbers. I was making a vid for the FTR contest (made it tooooo long) and this hand came up

Hero $32.62
SB $40
UTG $25

Hero is Button with :Ks: :Kc:

5 limps see a flop of :Kh:

2 checks UTG bets $1.25, CO calls, Hero raises to $6.25, SB raises to $22.50, BB folds, UTG is all-in $23.54, CO folds announcing 77, Hero raises to $32.37, SB calls.

SB has:


UTG has:
:Td: :Jd:

Here is the FTR odds calculator for the 3 hands, I've taken into consideration the 2 dead 7s.

cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
Ks 6s Kc 3h 162 27.23 433 72.77 0 0.00 0.272
Jd Td 9d 8h 161 27.06 434 72.94 0 0.00 0.271

 Sure I can

The guy times down and types 77 and folds. Of course 77 is the easiest fold ever right there.

BTW, Im still quite a dog to the lower straight and flush draw with the 2 7's in the deck I just thought it was interesting that I was nearly a dog against both with top set on the flop.

 Call preflop. You don't want to be re-raising a weakish KKxxss and open yourself up to a huge 3bet by AAxx or an 89TJ type of hand. Just call and play a flop with position.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
