Playing a small pair + lowest-fully-live-kicker in back >> 3-card straight or 3-card flush. | |

Setting a 2-card FD OOP is only 27% to make a flush. The value of a pr 7's or pr 2's on the bottom is practically none. | |

Yeah, I set that hand wrong. More than anything else I was testing our new post buttons inside our ofc game. | |

Oh, KoRnholio is IP, so I would also set any blocked cards up top, not as a kicker. | |

one thing i thought when i saw this is that if you are setting the tens and Aces on separate rows why put the aces in the middle. swapping them around must reduce your chances of fouling. |

Yah KoRnholio... seems like an ideal hand to play for FL. If your kicker was anything besides a Q or K, though, I'd have placed it on the bottom. (Obv. if it's an A or T, then I'd have to place the boat.) | |

Yeah, this is tough. Being in position, we see that Wazzup has no aces and no tens so setting the 2 pair in back in the hopes of getting a boat doesn't seem bad. The one thing we know for sure is that the queen goes in front. | |

I think Jazzyrobby's set is ok too. | |

I think dawgboy's 2 / 7 4 / Q K set is ok. I guess the 2 could go in the middle or the front. | |

i probably play too aggressive, but i almost always go Q up top and K in middle on hands like that, even with a weak back. if i'm in position and a lot of my outs are taken then i may change it up though. | |

I would have set it the same way as gmml. Wazzup showed the five so we don't want our 5 in back. Wazzup has no deuces so we put our 2 in back with the 3 kings. | |

It's unfortunate that your gutshot is lower than your opponent's, but I think it's still your best play to set the gutshot (58% IP) on the bottom. | |

If OFC, maybe. The OESD on the bottom is the strongest starting hand you can make. However, I'd argue that a 3-card OESFD is better than playing the 2 on the bottom. | |

I would say that setting A4 up top when you're OOP is always a mistake. The reason is that it leaves the top very inflexible on later streets. Also, as all cards when you're first to act, the 4's are fully live, so there's every reason to think the 4 would have as much chance of making a pair as anything else... plus when you play the 4 early, you have 1 more draw at the pair of 4's. | |

Pretty risky set in regular ofc. But if you set QQ up top you absolutely need to set the A in mid. I think QQ / A / J5 would be better. | |

I'd rather put the 9 on the bottom and the 2,3 in the mid. You can split the 2,3 and put the 9,3 on the bottom, but I don't really think there's too much advantage for that. | |

I think I have the hand comparison wrong? The bottom hand was - mine 9 9 7 10 K computer A Q 10 4 5 I had a pair I should have beaten that. |
