Ran first-five sim for 44559 (no 3-flush) opening five, pine. Everyone's fave play /9/4455 best EV at +2.3pts +-0.4pt
...
(1) All results: /9/4455 +2.3 EV +-0.4pt, /44/559 +1.6 EV +-0.4pt, /449/55 +0.9 EV +-0.4pt & just2see /4455/9 (nine in back) +0.4 EV +-0.6pt

So he's saying that X/9/4455 is +2.3 EV which is much higher than X/44/559 at +1.6 EV.
Intuitively I thought it was better to split low pairs but his simulator says otherwise.
What do you guys think?
This is cool info. I posted in an earlier thread ( http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...ne-196969.html ) that after long experimentation I had gone to splitting small 2-pair hands but keeping them together if the bigger pair was 88+. I don't have a simulator, but arrived at that strategy by playing 1000s of hands (and observing the results of my friend eastsidejohnny, who was breaking all 2-pair hands, in live play). But we're small-stakes players and we have no simulator. If Yakovenko has a way of running large numbers of hands and comparing the results, I'd say thanks a ton for the info, bro, and start taking his line.
