Furthermore, I much prefer to play 78s against a raise than I do QJs or KQs. And I will tell you why. Say I call a raise of 5 times the BB with QJs. And the flop comes down QQ2. There is a good chance I am toast. My opponent may have AQ. Leaving me in a very tough spot. However same senario, I play 78s and flop comes 772 well now I am almost certain I have the best hand against the raiser.
