OneByPhi and I were talking about what to do when we get 2 pairs with our first 5 cards: http://www.flopturnriver.com/chinese...table.php?3196
Which 2-pair hands should be broken up? How do you set 7766X? What about 8866X?

I wouldn't break up small 2 pairs, they're strong in the back and I don't see an advantage to split them. I'd most likely break up hands like KKQQX, AAKKX, etc or something like AA99K, KK55Q, etc. | |

Yeah, I'd keep them together and go for a full house, it has gotta be pretty likely that you're gonna pick up 6 royalty points | |

Normally I would keep JJ77 in back here but I split it after OneByPhi showed me his 7. What do you think? | |

If you're going to set it like that, then on the first draw I feel like you have to play a card lower than a 10 in the middle, with the intention of setting two pair in the middle, and going for FL. | |

I like the way splitting 4455 worked out for you. | |

after thinking about it, I do not see how 66/55 or 44/33 is any different then 4435 in the middle, which I think was a brilliant find, Jim. Maybe I'll switch to the mediocre 2 pr in the middle. See what comes of it. |

I can't stop thinking about this. Maybe it is better to split pairs most of the time. Still, there are exceptions like the one I mentioned before with a totally live ace in position: x / A / 9933 | |

Should we build a couple bots to run simulations? We could have whysplit2 setup to always split 2 pairs and whykeep2 setup to always keep them together. They could be dealt millions of random 2 pair hands against each other (excluding QQ, KK and AA). We could then see the win rates for each bot for different types of 2 pair hands. | |

That would be really cool. |

I think splitting 5522 was the right play for me here. | |

It caught my eye that you set the kicker to the mid. I wouldn't have done that unless it was blocked. Since you're OOP, that can't happen. | |
