Eric,

Did you consider just playing up the line:
Q
KK9
A

As the cards fell, you would end up with
QJJ
KK997
AA222
Discards: 3, K, 4, J


I know this is results-oriented, but you would have made 6 points more bonus with the JJ on top. In general, though, I think UTG HU, setting the AKQ up the line gives you a great chance for fantasy land.

yeah, i think that is better than my set above.

Player 1




Player 2 (Dealer)




You're UTG HU. On your first two draws, you mucked 2c and 3h. You now draw 9c, 7c, 3d. Clearly, you're going to play the 9c on the bottom, but is it better to play the 7c on the bottom too--it's a fully live card as far as you know--or play it on the top and give yourself the chance to draw a pair? Essentially, is it better to have 4 clear outs (two 9s and two Js) and two open slots, or 7 outs (two 9s, two Js, and three 7s) but no chance to improve your hand by drawing a pair? Also, would your answer differ if one of the 7s were dead?
