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.

With the QQ up top,...

Yes, that's how I'd set it most of the time.

Against a very aggressive opponent, I might place the 2 up top and simply rely on avoiding foul to get my points.

I bring this up, since playing a...

Thanks.

Note: This thread is somewhat at a disadvantage by not knowing if it's pineapple or not.

It would be nice if it could say whether it's OFC or POFC when the post is created.

I would have set

QQ / 2 / T7

but I don't think it's too big a difference. It makes the bottom slightly stronger, and even has straight opportunities.

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...

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:c: on the bottom.

5:c: / 2:c: / 3:h: 4:h:...

If regular OFC, then I'd set it
A:h: / 6:d: / 5:s: J:s: A:s:

A-high up top is strong, and unlikely to pair. The 3-flush is speculative, but the J is live and could help escape from a broken...

I'd have done this:
KevKevKevin
X / A:d: 5:d: / 7:s: 7:h: 9:h:

Always set for FL, change plans when it falls through.
Pair + kicker on the bottom is very strong
Ace in the middle potentially...

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.

KoRnholio (dealer)
X / 9:h: / 4:d: 5:c: 6:s:...

I think that hand is too weak to set for FL.

I'd have set the 3-flush on the bottom.
3:h:/T:c:/Q:d:9:d:4:d:

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

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...

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.

Setting a gutshot is about the same as setting a 3-flush.

I'd have...

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

Never break trips; always place trips on the bottom. If you have a fully live kicker, put it with the...
